Early years

In 2005, its program included, in addition to visual art exhibitions, a performative program attributable to Ms. Tierney's longstanding practice of multi-media theatrical puppetry. [3]

Operating outside many of the familiar patterns of commercial galleries and artist-run spaces in New York City, its roster of artists often featured lesser-known presenters from within the Crown Heights neighborhood. It began with an African photojournalism exhibit in 1999. Tierney had named the gallery after her son Myles, an Associated Press photographer killed in Sierra Leone.[2]

Early in its history FiveMyles received an Obie Grant.[4]
