| Gallery Aferro is a platform for the exchange of ideas in service of advancing human dignity and beauty, with a focus on visual arts as the vehicle, proudly located in Newark, NJ.

Concerning recent events and the spread of COVID-19

In a concerted effort to help slow the spread of Covid-19, Gallery Aferro is temporarily closing our gallery to the public and postponing upcoming public programs. This postponement will affect People’s Open Mic, the Spring Open Studios event, the Aferro Internship program, and means that our current exhibitions will be extended with the goal of re-opening them when it is safe to do so.

We also regret to announce that Gallery Aferro has made the extremely difficult decision to postpone our 12th annual benefit and auction to the Fall 2020 season. Although our benefit secures funds that support our most vital programs and allows us to provide for the needs and aspirations of artists of all backgrounds, the health of the community requires us to shift our attention.
