Venue review

The musician's read

Akela Space is a private downtown Anchorage contemporary-art gallery, studio and event venue presenting intimate ticketed concerts. R&B, soul, indie and experimental singer-songwriter work fits the all-ages arts setting, where originality and presentation carry more weight than bar-room familiarity. Artists with a distinctive concept and compact production should find the space especially useful.
