Creston Farmer’s Market — Art Day
We set up at the Creston Farmer’s Market on a perfect summer Saturday and spent the day dashing color onto fabric alongside families, neighbors, and anyone curious enough to wander over. Watching parents encourage children and friends lift each other with a nod of approval — that’s why we do pop-ups. Color becomes a quiet way of saying: this is who I am.

Davenport University — Freshman Orientation
I got to dye with incoming freshmen at Davenport University — each person picking their own unique color combination to start their college chapter. There’s something fitting about beginning a new season of life with a dash of color you chose for yourself.

Happy Cat Cafe — Fundraiser for Fig & Friends
Happy Cat Cafe held a fundraiser for Fig & Friends and invited More ∞ Joy to dash color on t-shirts and branded apparel. Infusing people’s love of animals onto their clothes was pure joy. Every dyed piece left carrying both color and care.

Mangiamo — Fig & Friends Fundraiser
We got to vend on the front lawn of Mangiamo — a historic East Hills mansion turned sophisticated Italian dining experience — as part of a Fig & Friends fundraiser. We dyed alongside Victor and the evening energy of that courtyard setting.

Breakaway Music Festival — Pre-Party at Rewind
We threw a full-day Breakaway Festival Pre-Party at Rewind — people came to customize their fit, catch live music, and vibe with fellow festie friends before the main event. Rewind has been more than a host — it’s a community.

Sacred Springs Micro Taproom
A great dye day at Sacred Springs, where traditional mead and sound-infused kombucha set the perfect frequency for color work. The Sacred Springs ethos — intention, community, presence — maps right onto what we do.

Creston Pride
More ∞ Joy brought abstract color to the Creston Pride lineup — a partnership between En Vivo Church and the Creston Neighborhood Association. A particular transformation happens when someone finds a piece that resonates. We saw it in real time: people walking just a bit taller, chins higher, as if wearing their color gave them permission to fully show up. That’s the whole practice, distilled into a summer afternoon.
