Unarthodox: Experience Creativity With Immersive Art
Unarthodox is a space where your creativity can flourish using distinctive, interactive, and immersive experiences. Unarthodox founders believe that art is a powerful agent for change. It doesn’t matter where we come from or who we are. Art is a universal language that has no boundaries. It allows us to connect deeply with ourselves in profound ways. Participants can explore their artistic potential using unique mediums like resin, paint, and clay. The experimental art classes use traditional and non-traditional art forms to stimulate the senses while bringing out the fun aspects of self-expression.
Background on Unarthodox
Unarthodox Art Studio is the brainchild of co-founders Al Montagna and Maria Kordova. The idea, which started in 2016, arose from their shared belief in the transformative power of art. Their respective journeys with art and self-discovery were the spark of inspiration to create this unique experimental art space. The co-founders hope to give people a place to explore their creativity, thus allowing them to unleash their true essence.
