where ideas come to grow

For queer and disabled artists, access to traditional art spaces often comes with invisible barriers. From physically inaccessible galleries to the emotional toll of navigating spaces that weren’t built with them in mind, the art world hasn’t always made room for everyone. But digital platforms are shifting that reality. This blog explores how virtual art exhibitions and creative marketplaces can offer accessible, inclusive alternatives that center community care and connect

The Coming Out Day Celebration (CODAC) is a heartfelt, grassroots effort created in collaboration with the Kansas LGBTQ+ community and others around the US. As rights are stripped and visibility is threatened, we’re coming together, locally and globally. With art exhibitions, creative markets, and collective action, this is more than an event, it’s a reminder that community is our greatest strength.

This World Environment Day, we are reflecting on eco-ableism, creative inclusion, and why virtual art spaces matter. Join the conversation and discover how we can make art more sustainable and accessible for all.

Our passion for art, nature, and community engagement has always inspired us...

This year, we’re introducing virtual art exhibitions as a way to reimagine how art can bring people together.

Small actions can truly make a global impact. Whether it's through activities you're already doing or you are just getting into gardening.

These small, buzzing insects captivate our imagination, draw us into their intricate lives, and inspire us to learn more.

The Basic Bee collection, inspired by the world of bees, embodies resilience, collaboration, and our commitment to positive change.
