Through stories we create experiences, form memories, and hopefully find connection. While Sharon Stewart’s work has ranged from costume design to performance, her inspiration stems from collaboration and a desire to foster authentic connection and community. In her current role as owner and manager of an art-focused and community-driven cafe, Stewart works to understand and develop a physical space that builds bridges of understanding through accessibility, shared comfort, and curiosity.

“Artists and scientists are both asking questions about the world, they’re just doing it in different ways”
