cWOW Gallery, also known as City Without Walls Gallery is located in Newark, New Jersey, occupying a building on Halsey Street in the Lincoln Park/The Coast Cultural District.[3]

City Without Walls is New Jersey's oldest not-for-profit alternative art space, in continuous operation since 1975 with a "two-fold mission offers career development opportunities to new and emerging artists, while providing the public a chance to understand and enjoy challenging contemporary art." The alternative art space relies on members to curate their on-site and off-site gallery spaces, cWOW, which stands for City Without Walls, has an estimated 6-10 exhibitions per year.[4] It also runs three educational programs called City Murals,[5] Newark New Media,[6] and ArtReach.[7]

cWOW operates a gallery in the atrium of One Newark Center. Both spaces are on the citywide Open Doors Studio Tour.[8]
