Fort Makers
Fort Makers
Fort Makers is an artist collective that makes functional and interactive art. Naomi Clark, Nana Spears, Noah Spencer and Elizabeth Whitcomb create large-scale public art installations, as well as a wide variety of fashion and home products. Each piece reflects the unique hand of the artist and the energy and inspiration of the group. The vast array of objects they’ve made is a reflection of their overall goal: they aim to create a three-dimensional and cohesive, visual world.
