Welcome to The Seam, where creativity connects! The Seam is a magical landscape that exists outside of place and time, which as become a haven for artists who seek inspiration, community, and reflection. Sisters Cadence and Penelope happened upon it while searching for a mythical artifact called the Wellspring, thought to be the source of all creative knowledge. What they found instead was a glistening rainbow stream that led them to this strange place they dubbed “The Seam.” Wishing to share their discovery with others, they transformed The Seam into a place where artists could come to work, commune with one another, and lose track of time.
