Anima Spectra founder Kendra Cole (She/Her) adds that, “The Immersive Art Community is lacking an outlet here in Albany, NY. An event of this caliber can only be found in places like New York City, or other art capitals out of state.” Kendra, a supporter of local LGBTQ+, BIPOC communities, and her partners aim to encourage inclusivity, empower local artists, small businesses, and raise awareness of harm reduction resources, support mindfulness, and dissembody the perceived pressures to indulge in substances in social settings.
