At the Akko Art Gallery, you can enjoy a meeting with one of the artists who exhibit in the gallery, including a personal story, a conversation about art, and the sources of inspiration. The meeting includes coffee, local refreshments, and of course a Q&A.
The meeting is intended for groups of 10-25 people by prior arrangement.
The Akko Art Gallery is located at the end of the old market of Akko, near the Alley of the Artisans. In the colorful gallery, you will find pictures, statues, jewelry, Judaica objects, and so much more.
The gallery has a variety of works by dozens of Israeli artists, some of them young and new, at the beginning of their journey from a variety of ethnicities and religions. The gallery also hosts Akko and Galilean artists and renowned Israeli creators such as Menashe Kadishman, Nachman Goodman, and private collections.
Moshe Afuta grew up in Safed among the alleys and the artists, where his love of art was born.
After many years in Safed galleries, he decided to open a gallery in Akko to strengthen the connection between Akko and the art world.
