At the Akko Art Gallery, you can admire the works of about 58 Israeli artists, including local Akko artists, private collections, photos, sculptures, and more. Moshe will be happy to tell you about the artists and the stories behind the works.
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.
