WHO IS CONTRAST HIGH?
GINA SCORDOS +
JENNA CONFORTI
Our goal is to create beauty, cultivate community, and inspire others to live out their passions. It’s not always easy to choose a path of creative journey – and that’s what pushes us; the uncomfortability of putting the art first ultimately leads to a quality of life that cannot be defined. Each project (whether it is our own or a client's) is an opportunity for us to use our talents in a way that immerses us into the present moment. We revere the creative process as God’s work and are honored to be able to do it daily and encourage others to do it as well.
OUR VISION

OUR
PROCESS
We are on a mission to transform the landscape of Cleveland’s art and business communities. Our strategic process is designed to facilitate a vibrant dialogue between creative talents and business acumen, leading to the establishment of a dynamic creative space and the launch of a comprehensive “ACTIVATE:CLE” program.
Contrast High has taken temporary residencies in three different versatile creative spaces that served as the physical hub for our ideas and initiatives. These temporary spaces were envisioned as a breeding ground for creativity and innovation, equipped with space for artists to work, collaborate, and showcase their creations. All three temporary locations were successful and now its time to take up permanent space.
