Interdisciplinary Arts are our specialty— bringing together performance, design, crafting, music, and movement. These art forms aren’t easily categorized, so we brought them together in Oddball Arts.

Immersive Arts

• Transforming walls and other surfaces with fabric, foam, and other lightweight temporary materials.
