Arts And Craft Village, Oron Cl, Garki, Abuja 900103, Federal Capital Territory
Pet Art Gallery is a privately owned art space in the Arts and Craft Village, Garki, Abuja, known for its contemporary Nigerian art collections and community-focused creative programs. Founded and run by artist Ngozi Akande, the gallery promotes visual arts education and showcases works emphasizing African identity and social themes.
Established in 1994, Pet Art Gallery was created to support Nigerian artists and serve as a platform for emerging and established talents. It houses an extensive selection of paintings, sculptures, textiles, and crafts. The gallery’s founder, Ngozi Akande, is a leading figure in the Female Artists Association of Nigeria and uses her work to advocate for women and children’s welfare.
Pet Art Gallery’s exhibitions feature Akande’s own creations—textural acrylic and oil paintings using recycled fabrics and jute—as well as works from other African artists. Pieces such as Color of Peace and Rings of Hope exemplify its blend of aesthetic beauty and social commentary. The gallery also participated in events like Abuja Art Week, showcasing contemporary interpretations of Nigerian culture.
Beyond exhibitions, Pet Art Gallery organizes art workshops for adults and children, offers training in traditional textile dyeing (adire), and hosts the annual Children’s Creativity Fair. These initiatives reflect its mission to cultivate artistic skills and cultural appreciation in Abuja’s creative community.
Located within the vibrant Abuja Arts and Crafts Village—a hub for handmade African art and souvenirs—the gallery provides both locals and tourists with direct access to authentic Nigerian craftsmanship and visual culture.
