About AKOMA

AKOMA is a vibrant creative sanctuary rooted in art, earth, and community,

At AKOMA, we envision a welcoming space where fiber arts, natural dyeing and cultural expression flourish.

Our logo features the heart-shaped AKOMA Adinkra symbol, representing values such as love, unity, endurance, patience, goodwill, tolerance, faithfulness, and understanding.

Our Mission

AKOMA Art House & Dye Garden's mission is to uplift and empower our artist community by providing affordable opportunities for artists to showcase and sell their work. In addition, we are committed to creating a space for rest, relaxation, reflection, restoration, and revolution. The Dye Garden, in particular, will be a sanctuary where both artists and community members can come together to learn natural dyeing and fiber art techniques, honoring earth;s gifts while fostering creativity and connection.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a thriving, self-sustaining artistic ecosystem in Detroit where all members of our community are empowered to grow their creative practices, connect deeply with the one another, and inspire social change. We envision AKOMA Art House & Dye Garden as a model for holistic, inclusive spaces that blend art, education, and environmental stewardship, providing a nurturing environment for creativity, collaboration, and cultural healing.
