It is a nice edifice with numerous offices and varied of artwork on the wall. Named in honour of a great and renowned author.

Grace Waniko

The hall is big enough and is okay but maintenance is poor. Toilets also needs attention and just a little painting will go asking way. It helped achieve our purpose though

The Centre for Arts and Culture is centrally located in Abuja. You can get access to anywhere from here. It has a series of shops within its environs (cyber cafe, photo studio, business centers). It is also a location used by Youth Corpers for Community Development Services. Great artworks can also be seen on display.

It’s part of Ministry of art and culture, more of a cultural center in Abuja, A lot of art and visual activities takes place here and art exhibitions too, it’s adjacent Garki post office and close to the popular UTC at area 10 in Garki district Abuja
O

OLUWASEGUN OGUNLEYE

Their sanitary function is horrible! How can there be one toilet in use for an event of over 200 or more people. With no dedicated cleanee in sight and there was no running water. You want to usw here I suggest you take time to check their toilets and other convenience for your guest.. or proactively get your own materials and let someone be there to give assistance to your own guest!

Great art works , photos not allowed at art gallery.... poor rest room service in the building
S

Stephanie Akakem

Well built, but lacks proper management. Needs a qualified certified Facilities Management Company like KARNICE FACILITIES to take care of the place. Some of the plumbing are in bad shape, and parts of the facility is underutilized, suffering from disuse. Equipments and facilities not maintained to a good standard.
