    Presenting a programme of exhibitions, installations and performances by the region's most significant artists, Gallery 1957 bridges the gap between local and international audiences. Beyond its roster of diverse artists and exhibitions, global gallery partnerships and the establishment of the artist residency programme have welcomed many international artists and arts professionals to Ghana, encouraging them to engage further with the country's rich contemporary art scene.

    Gallery 1957's work expands beyond the gallery walls through a public programme that includes fairs, talks, off-site projects and site-specific installations commissions as well as the publication of books and catalogues  - continuously supporting cultural initiatives in Ghana, and beyond.

  • In 2021, Gallery 1957 launched the Yaa Asantewaa Art Prize, the first ever dedicated art prize for women artists living and working in Africa. It aims to further strengthen our commitment to supporting and promoting emerging and established artists across Ghana and the diaspora.
