In ‘23, we hit the streets
Art Gangster, Obed’s Instagram post from Meet the Art Gang night. You are looking at a group of talented LA artists, unleashed and enabled web3 entrepreneurs, armed with digital wallets and marketplace skills, together as a powerful unified force of good in the Boyle Heights community and beyond!
The MEET THE ART GANG event in Venice was a huge success that brought together a brand new community family of supporters, and introduced them to a brave new world where art is a superpower that can uplift and support incredibly talented artists from the streets of LA.
We’d like to thank some of the partners who made the event possible including our event space host MAGIC LINK, our mind-blowing graphic design and printers WRAPPED STUDIOS, and our NFT technology mentors Luke Xie and Nick Hong.
With MEET THE ART GANG in the books, we look ahead to 2023 and our plan of growing our community circle of art collectors, social impact supporters as well as ‘jumping in’ more of LA’s young and established artists from the margins, who can benefit from the collective capacity that the Art Gang community can provide.
In the first part of 2023, we intend to increasingly open the community circle to the public through high impact events that will pull interest and grow our following on social media. We can’t do it alone, so make sure you are signed up to receive updates and receive special access opportunities, membership tokens and more. All our Meet the Art Gang attendees are eligible to receive a special genesis membership token, and that’s just the beginning.
The road map is shaping up as follows:
FEB 2023: A special benefit for TEMPT and his ALS Foundation. Location NATIVO in NELA Highland Park
APR 2023: Our official NFT launch party with new members of the Art Gang, contests and the grand opening of Fabian’s ART GANG VIRTUAL STUDIO & COMMUNITY CLUBHOUSE. Location TBD
Many have said, ‘just wait, it’s a bear market’ - we say ‘lead, follow or get out of the way.’ The Art Gang cause is bigger than the markets, bigger than digital art - it is the energy that has flowed through the streets and on the walls of LA for decades - an energy no longer restrained by barriers or lack of access to opportunity or kinship. This is ART GANG NFT.
“As long as the words of WISDOM are received by those whom aspire to be INNOVATIVE, and surround me with that STRENGTH, then the KNOWLEDGE I spit is reflective of them and that is where the real POWER is. Art Gang, here we come."” - Fabian Deborah, founder ART GANG
