Artists Alliance Gallery

Reviewed By annaswannn - Atlanta, United States

Three stories of really wonderful modern art and a few rooms of high quality souvenirs. Honestly, even if you aren't going to buy a painting, I would come here to buy souvenirs over the Art market. Everything is fairly priced, nobody hassles you and you don't have to haggle.

Reviewed By akuae2018 - Accra, Ghana

I always visit this town Ntonso with my visitors whenever am in Kumasi. The reason is this, so that they can have a first hand experience with what nature produces which has no equals when it comes to dye. There is this home in Ntonso which is ready to welcome visitors to take part in dye making. What are the ingredients: tree bark and water. The tree bark is pounded to powder and then mix with water, boiled for several hours, strain and boil again until it become sticky black. This is use as a permanent dye and with the 'Adinkra' symbol carved on a piece of calabash, a cloth is beautifully decorated to be worn for funeral or other occasion.Once the symbol is stamped on the cloth, it cannot be removed . It become a printed cloth with adinkra symbols.

Reviewed By itstiani - Los Angeles, United States

Let me say..you definitely get a feel of local life..wear comfy shoes and dont drink water before going because once u get inside of what i call "THE MONSTER" good luck with finding a bathroom..be careful with your personal belongings as there are thousands of people everywhere moving so fast.But i loved it the hussle and bussle and fabric shopping man ole man..Its truly an experience so if accra its a must...go early in the morning because traffic is terrible...catching a cab will be easy because they are driving in the midst of the street...but the deals are better than the art center. Also alot of people dont want to be photographed so just be mindful...happy shopping!!!
