Africa House was founded by Dr. Willie R. Mackey and his wife AkuSika Nkomo Mackey as an Art House in 1996. Located in the heart of midtown corridor an area often referred to as the Hood. The name Africa House gained popularity in the early 2000 due to the influx of talented artist working and residing in the apartments.
The Mackey’s saw a need for inner-city children, youth and people in general to be able to engage in programs within walking distance of where they lived. Dr. and Mrs. Mackey became community advocates and positive change agents by establishing the Art House, today grassroots Learning Center and home of Africa House Learning Gardens.
