Its About

The Artists

Our Mission

Independent Creatives Art Collective is a dynamic art show production company dedicated to curating immersive and unconventional art experiences. Founded by visionary creatives Kortney Jones Bridges and Leesa Fregin, the Collective was built on the belief that every artist deserves a platform—especially those who have the talent but lack the connections, resources, or exposure to break into the industry.

By transforming unexpected venues into artistic playgrounds, Independent Creatives goes beyond traditional gallery spaces, blending visual art, music, and interactive elements to create unforgettable events. Our mission is to bridge the gap between emerging artists and the audiences who need to see their work, ensuring that creativity isn’t limited by access or opportunity.

With a strong foundation in both creative direction and business strategy, we have established a reputation for elevating local talent while engaging diverse audiences. Every show we produce is more than an exhibition—it’s an experience, a movement, and a chance for artists to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

We are innovators. We are community builders.
We are the Independent Creatives.

Upcoming Events

Take Me West Art Show

May 3rd

Venue
San Clemente, CA

Take Me West is a curated art show celebrating the raw beauty, spirit, and mythology of the American West. Hosted by Independent Creatives Art Collective, this immersive exhibition invites artists and audiences alike to explore the landscapes, legends, and nostalgia that define the western frontier.

From sun-scorched deserts and rugged mountains to neon-lit highways and timeless cowboy lore, Take Me West showcases a diverse range of artistic interpretations, spanning painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. The show highlights both traditional and contemporary perspectives, capturing the West as a place of freedom, adventure, and reinvention.

Set in a space designed to evoke the warmth of a desert sunset and the grit of a frontier town, Take Me West is more than an art show—it’s a journey. Attendees can expect a multi-sensory experience featuring live music, western-inspired cocktails, and an atmosphere that transports them into the heart of the untamed West.

Join Independent Creatives Art Collective for an unforgettable night of art, storytelling, and celebration as we pay homage to the landscapes and legends that continue to inspire. Take Me West isn’t just an exhibition—it’s a call to explore, dream, and wander.
