Gallery5 is hosting an opening reception for “I Dream of A Richmond” — From the blurb sent my way:

Richmond, like many cities across the United States, struggles with a growing number of native dilemmas. However, the most daunting issue we endure as a populace involves a lack of communication. In an effort to aid civic dialog, Gallery5 and There Once Was A Rebellion join forces in a socially driven endeavor known as “I Dream of a Richmond”. This campaign will act as a public platform that cultivates local concerns. It will also serve as a regional forum that indiscriminately allows people to express their needs and aspirations regarding the community.

In the spirit of autonomy, it is the intent of “I Dream of a Richmond” to provide a populist perspective that brings to light a sense of universal understanding. It is the hope of both organizations involved that such a project will instigate change and showcase various thoughts in a way that is not ostracizing but empowering.
