5ive & 4orty Art Gallery was founded by Amy Garland and Joy Ritenour in the summer of 2006. It is located in Winston-Salem's Downtown Arts District, and offers gallery visitors an opportunity to experience contemporary works by emerging national talent. The existing gallery space was renovated to resemble galleries found in larger metropolitan areas. 5ive & 4orty is intentionally sparse, a white rectangle, with concrete floors and 12 ft ceilings. It was upfitted to also serve as a meeting space for businesses and community organizations.

According to art critic Tom Patterson, "Since making its debut, 5ive & 4orty has established itself as the Arts District's most elegantly designed gallery - perfectly suited to showcasing art - and the one representing the most high-caliber work."

Michael Northius Art Exhibit

Michael Northuis, eye cons includes a collection of 12 drawing and 12 paintings meticulously rendered in Northuis’ poly-stylistic magic realism. The subject matter, a darkly poetic and sometimes humorous take on humanity, takes its cues from such artists as Bosch, Goya and Ensor. Like most artists, Northuis shrugs off comparison to other artists yet their influence --Picasso, Ensor, Otto Dix, Jan Van Eyck is obvious in his work.
