Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art, Art gallery in Newark, United States
The Aljira Center for Contemporary Art displays works of established and emerging artists across multiple exhibition spaces in its Newark location.
Founded in 1983 by Carl E. Hazlewood and Victor Davson, the center became a Major Arts Organization designated by New Jersey's State Council on the Arts.
The name Aljira originates from an Australian Aboriginal word for dreamtime, representing the center's commitment to artistic exploration and possibilities.
Located at 591 Broad Street in Newark, the center maintained an online store selling books, fine art, and prints until its closure in 2018.
The Federal Advisory Committee selected Aljira to organize the United States representation at the IV Bienal Internacional de Pintura in Cuenca, Ecuador.
