The gallery was founded by Tierney in 1999 as a place to show her own work. She had named it after her son, Myles, a filmmaker who was killed while covering the war in Sierra Leone.[2] The first exhibit was a show of African photojournalism.[4]
Operating outside many of the familiar patterns of commercial galleries and artist-run spaces in New York City, the gallery's roster of artists often features lesser-known presenters from within the Crown Heights neighborhood and artists from the African continent and the Caribbean.[5]
In 2000, FiveMyles received an Obie Grant for[6] "presenting magnificent contemporary performance work."
In 2005, programming included, in addition to visual art exhibitions, a performative program attributable to Ms. Tierney's longstanding practice of multi-media theatrical puppetry.[7]
