FPG History

A Brief History of Five Points

Located in a historic downtown building, Five Points Gallery (FPG) grew out of the Torrington Arts and Culture Commission's 2012 initiative, Artspace Torrington, which was a 840-square foot temporary summer storefront gallery located at the corner of Main and Water streets. The success of Artspace Torrington led to the founding of Five Points Gallery Inc. a permanent 501c3 non-profit gallery dedicated to the exhibition of regional, national and international contemporary visual artists. The gallery presents exhibitions in three beautifully renovated exhibition spaces, and has earned the reputation as one of Connecticut’s outstanding contemporary art venues.
