Founder’s statement

Me Llamo Art is a nonprofit entity established to support artists’ growth and development toward ultimately discovering their full potential. We are committed to inclusivity, transparency, and positivity while providing impactful opportunities to uplift the art community in Web 3. The Iconic Le Consulat Café— as shot by Michael Sidofsky— perfectly embodies the ethos of Me Llamo Art and today’s digital artists. In the late 19th Century, impressionist artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso regularly frequented Le Consulat. They spent hours discussing their new style of painting, and why “traditional art” resisted their novel techniques and colors. Many impressionists struggled to make a living, yet they continued to produce incredible and revolutionary art. Now their works are considered to be amongst the greatest in history. Today, digital artists are at a similar inflection point; experiencing resistance to the value of digital art and the importance of the Blockchain to ensure provenance. Please join us as we follow in the footsteps of those artists in La Consultat 150 years ago, toward what is sure to be the next transformational frontier in modern art.
