Akwaaba Gallery

Celebrated our daughter receiving her Masters degree at the Akwaaba Gallery… The gallery is beautiful; the patio - a peaceful oasis. Ms. Laura is simply WONDERFUL… she absolutely knows her business. Thank you Laura for your optimism, and peaceful energy! If you’re looking to have an event, be sure to visit the Akwaaba Gallery… or visit the gallery to view/purchase the beautiful art!✌🏾♥️

I loved it. The whole aurora was awesome. The art, atmosphere, attitude of administration and even the people attending the event were all awe inspiring. Im going back to this urban art oasis...immediately after i spread the word about how this hidden gem shines on South Orange Avenue, Newark NJ

Akwaaba Gallery is a hidden gem! They've done a tremendous job on the space which is stunning. I highly recommend others see it for themselves.

What a wonderful time we had on opening night at this place!!!! Viewing the lovely display of art work, meeting the local artists and mingling with the hundreds of guests who flowed in and out throughout the evening to celebrate the event. Akwaaba Gallery is a beautiful, spacious, quiet retreat in Newark, which is easily accessible by public transportation, with ample street parking. It is a lovely space to hold an event and I bet it will be in great demand once the word spreads. Congratulations to the owners Laura and Ray! I truly look forward to attending many future art shows and events here.

I had the honor of getting married at the gallery! The wedding was better than anything I could have imagined and Ms. Laura was like my Fairy God Mother on my big day. She and and her husband went above and beyond to ensure my guests and I had a wonderful evening. All my guests complimented the artwork, decor and Ms. Laura's attentiveness on every detail that night. If you are thinking of having an intimate and romantic wedding Akwaaba Gallery is definitely a must!

What a wonderful experience, the boldness of this work is very inspirational. Thanks you Ms. Laura, for providing this hidden jem on Orange.

This place is absolutely exquisite! The building is so well designed and beautifully curated. It's the perfect location for private events. The owners are totally committed to the community and support other businesses in the area. This is a must for those in the NJ/NYC area.

The décor is quite aesthetically pleasing; you to want to linger and take it all in. Clean lines all around; very tastefully done. The opening art exhibit was varied, interesting, educative, beautiful and quite stimulating. This is an extremely welcomed and classy addition to the area, and a gallery to visit over and over again. Great job and thank you!

The Akwaaba Gallery is a diamond in the rough, a wonderful location for the art appreciator. In twi, akwaaba means "welcome" and I am pleased to say it lives up to its namesake. The building is made from an older house but feels very modern and it's renovation would tell otherwise, save for tasteful aged brick. Here for a selection of pieces, particularly Rachel Beck's work, the gallery showcased wonderful manifestations of the human gaze and spirit. The patio behind the building is a wonderful space to socialize in a comfortable, green and airy space. Altogether, the location is fantastic and I would recommend for any art and artist!
