Join Arts Council of the Valley at Smith House Galleries May 2 (5-7pm, during First Fridays of the Valley) for the opening of “5x5x25,” a community-fueled art exhibition (part of ACV’s year-long 25th anniversary celebration)! This mixed-media show features 25 local artists, each of whom has created 25 new works of art (measuring 5" by 5") over the past five months.

Stop by to discover incredible works in collage, ceramics, fibers, photography, painting, digital media, and more; meet the amazing artists; and enjoy refreshments!

Participating artists are: Gabriela Archer, Shelley Boyers, Eva Camunas, Derrick Chirinos, Rosie Clark, Halley Conrad, Jess Daddio, Agnieszka Elliott, Barbara Gautcher, Daniel Hall, Ruby Hostetler, Michael Hough, Brenda Hounshell, Ver Ikeseh, Julia Koehler, Feixue Mei, Ashley Sauder Miller, Abby Mundy, Shawn Pham, Porter, Mary Rouse, M. Shira, Billy Smelser, Erin Katherine Williams, and Herb Weaver.

“5x5x25” is made possible, in part, by The Community Foundation of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County’s Earlynn J. Miller Fund for the Arts and the support of an anonymous donor. Installed through May 30, with in-person visits Monday-Friday (11 am to 4 pm), and Second Saturday, May 10 (10 am to 2 pm), the exhibition will also be available online in early May (valleyarts.org/smith-house-galleries-current-exhibition/).
