Based in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, FiveMyles advances the public interest in innovative experimental work, identifies and exhibits the work of under-represented artists, and engages the local community through participation in the arts. FiveMyles focus on giving emerging, merited, and well-established artists the opportunity to present their work in solo and group exhibitions. Place, personal vision, politics, identity and experimentation are an integral part of programming at FiveMyles. Exhibitions are often inspired by art rooted in non-Western cultures and have included photography and video from East Africa and contemporary Native and Caribbean art.
