NYC quality art gallery currently showing Vanishing Boundaries a beautifully installed exhibit curated by Owner Laura Bonas Palmer. The quality of work is consistently high while being varied and interesting. We went on a beautiful afternoon and were able to enjoy Lauras warm and welcoming backyard space and chat with some of her friends and art lovers.

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. Lauras 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 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.

This place is absolutely exquisite! The building is so well designed and beautifully curated. Its 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!
