About

In a landscape where a narrow, established circle increasingly controls art, Less Ordinary Studio exists to make room for what exists outside of it.

An open structure for independent artists to appear, connect, and move, it is a collective-driven platform active since December 2024, focused on increasing the visibility of independent artists. Working across disciplines, it produces digital selections, interviews, and collaborations that circulate independent practices rather than framing them.

To date, it has worked with over 200 artists through curated selections and collaborations with various brands. It currently runs three ongoing digital series while developing new exhibition projects that expand how and where independent work can be presented.

Formed by its own community; by artists, for artists.
