Kuaba Gallery: Best Gallery In Indiana / 2024 AMERICAN ART AWARDS
The American Art Awards has announced the 20 Best Art Galleries/Museums In USA for the year 2024, with Kuaba Gallery receiving the award for the Best Gallery in Indiana. Selections are based on years established, industry reputation, location, size, aesthetics, socially relevant exhibits, motivational and educational programs, online presence, represented artists — and references from artists, clients, and visitors.
American Art Awards: “This year we awarded a couple prestigious university museums, one with roots going back to 1892 with incomparable art collections: Greek, Roman, Near Eastern, ancient Egypt, Byzantium, Asian, African, Ancient Americas, and Oceanic cultures. We also selected the largest gallery in the Southwest and a Florida gallery with four locations amassing the largest exhibition space in South Florida, with close proximity to Art Basel & Art Miami. A Midwest facility specializing in original contemporary African art is included as well as a couple art centers providing year-round visual art exhibitions and innovative arts education programs available to all including disadvantaged rural communities. Our diversified roster this year also includes high-rated contemporary galleries in Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, Santa Fe, Salt Lake City and Seattle. These revered landmarks with influential international presences are popular urban hotspots, fulfilling both artistic and high-energy community needs. We also chose heralded private galleries in Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina and South Carolina, focusing on exhibiting regional artists, both young and established.”
American Art Awards: “Kuaba Gallery offers distinctive, authentic, and original contemporary African and Art of the Diaspora, painting, sculpting, and other art forms… new ideas about the struggle to deal with difficult and rapidly changing African environment during the modern time… created in stone, metal, wood, ceramic, textile, basketry, and canvas.
MORE ABOUT THE GALLERY
So much of what has been seen in the western world about African art is artifacts. The pieces are mostly primitive art that was used for ancient and religious practices. As time and beliefs have passed, art has evolved.
Africa has been described as the continent of over a thousand cultures and beliefs. There are parts of the continent where one can find distinct cultures, with their own lifestyles and languages living in the same area. Despite this diversity, there is a ‘common language’ that expresses ‘Africans’ throughout the continent. This language is art.
Many African artists express new ideas about the struggle to deal with difficult and rapidly changing African environment during the modern time. All of these various expressions are created in stone, metal, wood, ceramic, textile, basketry, and canvas. Kuaba Gallery is dedicated to bringing African art and art of the Diaspora to the 21st Century.
