Say hello to our first official Bedford Art advisors, Greg Hill and Tiffany Guillen of Artist’s Collective Corona. While there’s more to come on their story, we wanted to share what they’ve been up to lately.
New to the scene with their opening on January 3, 2022, Greg and Tiffany have designed this space with the mission of bringing the artist culture to its surrounding community. Nestled in South Corona California’s Dos Lagos shopping center, the Artist’s Collective promises to bring families, friends, co-workers and neighbors together to share and be inspired by the beauty of life. They offer art classes, design space and gallery opportunities for everyone. Its goal is to spark imagination through classes, workshops, studio rentals and open paint.
Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind, create, celebrate or just have a fun night out, this is the place. No experience required.
Their children’s art classes have been specially designed by fun-loving and experienced art teachers to unleash your child’s inner Picasso. Skilled instructors will guide your little ones’ imaginations with sensory-filled arts and crafts projects that are appropriate for all ages.
Bedford Art is part of the fabric of what’s next at Bedford. We’re bringing together the unique perspectives of locally scouted creatives—from art teachers and entrepreneurs to trending Instagrammers you know and follow. All because we believe the place you live should spark your senses, bring wonder back to the forefront and make every experience more vibrant.

Bedford Well Spotlight: Angel from Firestorm TalentWe’re back for more fun with Bedford Well—our collaboration with local instructors, coaches and fitness entrepreneurs to introduce an entirely new outlook on how community and wellness can cohabitate.
Say hello to Angel Griffin, whose title as owner of Firestorm Talent & Entertainment is only part of a long list of her incredible accomplishments and talents, which also includes fire breathing—yes, you read that right!
As a world champion swing dancer, U.S. champion salsa dancer, circus performer and Guinness World Record and black belt holder, Angel’s passion is creating epic memories and joy for everyone she comes across. And she’s thrilled to bring her boundless energy to The Shed, the newest amenity coming soon to Bedford.
First, more about Angel. She fell in love with performing arts after college, teaching high-flying acrobatic lifts to swing dancers internationally. Once she received her world champion title, she transitioned to performing in the circus, which felt like the natural next step and exciting big challenge. She is now married to another circus performer, who is also a longtime gymnastics coach and American Ninja Warrior.
She and her husband now manage Firestorm Talent & Entertainment as well as two parkour and circus training facilities. And they’re excited to bring their eclectic knowledge of movement and strength training to create spaces at Bedford that are unique and thoughtful of all ages.
“We’re going for maintaining the youthful mindset. We want everyone to remember that it’s a good thing to play—for your mentality, flexibility and muscles.”
Her passion for all things epic and active is truly inspiring. She personally commits to taking on something new every year, which feels perfect as we head into 2022. She has so much to share about how the human body moves and grows, which will be monumental when it comes to creating the playground, performance elements and arrangements at The Shed. Follow Angel and her talented team to be part of their ongoing adventures @firestormtalent @firestormfreerunning.
Stay tuned to learn more about Angel and all the other inspirational goodness coming to the community as part of Bedford Well. Join the interest list to be the first to know about what’s next for Bedford and be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with the good times to come.

Bedford Well: Meet Rob from Fitness Ventures InternationalCue the excitement! We’re going behind the scenes of Bedford Well—a collaboration with local instructors, coaches and fitness entrepreneurs to introduce an entirely new outlook on how community and wellness can cohabitate.
And we’re giving a warm welcome to Rob Newkirk, the Managing Partner and Senior Vice President of Fitness Ventures International, a leading provider of innovative fitness solutions for commercial facilities worldwide. As a pioneer in the industry, Rob is now bringing his passion and years of experience to help shape The Shed—the newest amenity coming soon to Bedford.
As a professional martial artist and a designer of many celebrities’ personal gyms, Rob has a world of experience and knowledge to bring to Bedford. Bedford Well had a long wish list for the community and Rob’s team was up for the challenge. This includes ideas around flexible fitness spaces that can work indoors or out and evolve to meet the changing needs and abilities of residents.
That brings us to one of Rob’s many contributions to The Shed: Gym Rax®. Developed by his very own company, this smart rigging system both maximizes space efficiency and exercise functionality. It’s revolutionized on-the-go wellness with Five Feet to Fitness™ available in Hilton hotel rooms, and now it’s equipping Bedford with the tools we need to support a wide variety of fitness options—from strength and suspension to aerial yoga, HIIT, meditation and more.
“We’re veering away from the traditional for Bedford at The Shed—and we’re looking to create something cutting edge, encouraging a way of working out that’s best for your body through both the strength building and recovery phases.”
Stay tuned to learn more about Rob and all the other inspirational goodness coming to the community as part of Bedford Well. Join the interest list to be the first to know about what’s next for Bedford and be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with the good times to come.
