The Vision

The Academy of the Forbidden Arts is an immersive stage open for ethereal, dark, colorful, and sinister performances and music.
The art is co-created by a team of artists: Dicapria, Tess Clabby, Adair, Eden Knutilla, Melby, Krystal Harfert, Lucy Kang, and Kye Whitmore.
The majority of this piece is made from repurposed materials and found objects, including found wood, 2nd hand items, borrowed materials, repurposed toys and objects from re-use craft stores such as barbie limb architectural elements, pencils shingling the roof, and easter eggs lining the shadow boxes; glowing gummy bears, diy 'stain glass', gargoyles constructed out of sailing tarp, repurposed chandeliers, and more.
Climbing onto the stage to discover all of the found objects and assemblage is one of the key immersive features. As is creating room for ethereal, haunting performances, rituals, and magical moments.
