A 501(c) (3) Non-Profit Organization
Alfa Art Gallery
Alfa Art Gallery is a non-profit organization devoted to the discovery, growth, and support of emerging and established artists. Since we opened our doors in 2008, we have worked to achieve this goal through exhibitions and events held at our gallery over the years. Currently the success has been our oldest and most prestigious program, the New Brunswick Art Salon. Drawing inspiration from the traditional art salons of the 18th and 19th centuries, we have used these events to connect talented artists with the New Brunswick public. Since the program’s inception in 2010, the New Brunswick Art Salon has helped to enrich the community through its art. We attempt to spark a love and interest of the arts through our donations to the community including to the NJ Institute for Food, Nutrition, and Health in 2012. Thanks to the support of sponsors and patrons alike, we have been able to expand our Art Salon. Originally, it consisted of a spring exhibition of watercolor and mixed media and a fall exhibition of oil color and mixed media. Now we have added a winter photography exhibition and a summer all media exhibition to our New Brunswick Art Salon Program. We believe that visual art is a universal form of expression that can bridge cultural gaps and provide a forum where diverse perspectives can be shared and appreciated. We hope you will join us for this upcoming melding of the minds.
