BushCrewe
Jacqueline K. Quackenbush has decorated some of the biggest Maritime festivals-- Future Forest , Kollektiv--and decorates events regularly in the city, with much imagine and skill. Turning any space into trippy, wobbly, psychedelic bits matching the music as if pulled from its imagination.
For the last twenty years, Kristen Crewe has been drawing, painting, colouring, sewing, designing and imagining whenever possible. She is responsible for many environments in festivals and venues across the Maritimes, immersing the audience visually into the music for a complete experience...
BizZzArt is another Maritime favorite, a new force in the scene taking over quickly--another that has decorated Future Forest, Kollektiv, Evolve and so many more. Their string art is unique, with layers and layers of psychedelia. Powered by Dragan Jane and Al Pennington , they always bring Pussyweed's event to fractal life.
