ZOMA House is a multidisciplinary creative space brought to life by 3 arts organizations in the Twin Cities. The organizations under the umbrella of ZOMA House are ZOMA Studios, NEO Narrative, and The Heartcraft Collective. ZOMA Studios is an independent animation studio currently producing its debut short film. NEO Narrative is a media collective dedicated to redefining the landscape of Black creativity & community in the Twin Cities through art and intentional organizing. The Heartcraft Collective is a craft wellness business that hosts workshops and hands-on activities designed to spark connection and self-expression.

We hope our events will build intergenerational bonds, with offerings catered to emerging and professional artists as well as quarterly family events for all ages. When we're not hosting events, ZOMA House will be available as a creative work and studio space for artists and makers of all kinds. In addition, we plan to support the local art community by building out a consignment shop with a rotating selection of locally made goods and merchandise.
ZOMA House is a recipient of the 2025 Vibrant Storefronts grant initiative, which is a city-led funding opportunity to enhance creative opportunities in Downtown, Uptown, and other parts of the city, aiming to boost vibrancy, innovation, and sustainability. As a result, we have been awarded a storefront in Uptown Minneapolis funded by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department.

With your support, we'll be able to furnish the space, purchase supplies, paint a mural that reflects our diverse community, and build a location that is warm, welcoming, and long-lasting. If we go beyond our $10K goal, the excess funding will go towards programming costs, utilities, paying our staff, and hiring teaching artists.
