Our Host and one of the Artist of the event is SHEA SERVO

His experiences, including a passion for the adrenaline-fueled world of aeronautics, ignite his canvases with bright colors and a distinctive, energetic style. Shea's work is more than just aesthetically striking; it's a testament to the power of art as a means of healing and connection.
Committed to giving back, Shea collaborates with non-profit organizations, using his edgy, vibrant, and award-winning paintings to raise awareness for causes close to his heart.

ARTIST
JEFF SANDERS LEGO ART
Geometric artist Jeff Sanders' amazing LEGO sculptures have been seen nearly 250 million times across every major online platform--from the front page of reddit to features by YouTube, the LEGO Group, Buzzfeed, Nerdist, and more.
Jeff's work sits at the nexus of art, engineering, mathematics, and popular culture--exploring the patterns inherent in LEGO® bricks, and pushing the limits of what can be created with the ubiquitous construction toy.
There’s no heat, no glue, or magic in Jeff's work—it’s just experimentation, imagination, and a lot of patience.
Jeff has shipped original commissioned artworks around the world, including the 10 square meter mega-build 'Ten Point Geometry in Brick' for the 2019 Sharjah Islamic Arts Festival in the United Arab Emirates.

ARTIST
JOEL SPARKS
Joel Nunn-Sparks is a mixed media artist and photographer from Pasco, Washington. The youngest of five boys — and part of an expansive family of cousins, nieces, and nephews — Joel grew up surrounded by the power of storytelling, memory, and legacy. With 17 years of experience as a self-taught photographer and a former high school photography teacher, he carries those principles of framing, light, and narrative into his visual art practice.
Joel’s work pierces the veil between past, present, and future, rooted deeply in African American culture, pain, and resilience. Through his art, he seeks to unsettle and empower, sparking conversations around identity, healing, and the struggles that plague the human soul. Each piece is both a wound and a salve — a cinematic reflection of personal and collective histories meant to invite viewers into dialogue and transformation.

ARTIST
HEATHER JOHNSTON
Heather Johnston, an Alaska Native artist with roots in the Alutiiq and Unangan communities, creates work that blends cultural tradition with contemporary vision. Raised in a creative family, she discovered art as both expression and healing—a way to connect memory, spirit, and resilience.
Her drawings, paintings, and sculptures use bold color and symbolism to explore identity, balance, and wellness. “Art is movement,” she says, “a flow of energy that inspires and transforms.”Heather’s work has been exhibited nationally and is held in collections including the Newberry Library, the Peabody Institute of Archaeology, the Sioux Museum, and the Alutiiq Museum. Through her art, she offers a perspective where creativity becomes both storytelling and a path toward healing.

ARTIST

Jana's installations, paintings, and sculptures are published and exhibited worldwide: shown at art galleries, at SFMOMA, Tate Liverpool, Women’s Museum of California, and at venues staged simultaneously with the Venice Biennale, Frieze London, and Art Basel Miami.
