Forbidden Fruit's origin began with Crux. She’s spent 18 years immersed in the world of performing arts as a professional dancer and multimedia artist. Countless showcases, video shoots, classes, & events have shaped her journey and cultivated a profound passion for production. This passion eventually bloomed into Forbidden Fruit. 

​

The seed was planted during Crux’s time at Temple University. At conception, Forbidden Fruit was a dance competition that bridged the tri-state areas of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, & New York. This vision changed drastically when she met Stonez the Organic. 

 

Stonez is a multimedia musician with skills in visual art and photography. He’d already been involved in Philly's art scene, curating local shows and bringing artists together.

​

As Stonez and Crux began collaborating, they embarked on a shared wellness journey and discovered a significant gap between art and wellness. They used combined skills in art, production, and technology to fill this void.

 

Forbidden Fruit has evolved into a platform that promotes creative wellness amongst a global arts community. It’s a home for like-minded art lovers; a hub of resources and transformative opportunities that help artists thrive and express themselves.

 

In 2022, Forbidden Fruit officially incorporated, and since then we've:

• hosted 100+ events with global reach

• curated 10 immersive art galleries

• welcomed 7,000+ attendees of all ages

• featured 500+ artists

 

At its heart, Forbidden Fruit is driven by a visceral need for and accessibility to art and wellness. It has become a beautiful manifestation of our belief that
creativity and well-being are intrinsically linked.

 

Our mission to "Free the Forbidden" encourages the collective consciousness to embrace the power of creative wellness.
