the studio
Located in SW Grand Rapids, Free Alchemy Studio is a transformative third space and creative incubator.
An afrocentric, bohemian oasis right off the Grand River near downtown – from the resources, to the furniture to the programming, everything in our studio is powered by and through the energy and contributions of Black women near and far.
Our mission is to serve and support the grounding of visions by way of sharing space and community building through workshops, residencies and experiences for us and by us.
