Once labelled “Africa’s Capital Of Cool” by the New York Times, Accra has a thriving art scene and is home to several contemporary art galleries that showcase the art of talented local and international artists. Galleries include Gallery 1957, ADA/ contemporary art gallery, Amba Gallery, as well as the Nubuke Foundation.
