What is ArtGumiDAO?
A streak of introverted art friends who are the best at their crafts coming out from their caves to support each other & do fun things together in Web3.
🧃About Us
ArtGumi was founded on 1st October 2021, originated as an NFT/Web3 study group of traditional artists in Osaka.
ArtGumiDAO is an international non-profit community of artists, curators, galleries, educators, engineers, developers, researchers, art lovers, and everyone who share interests in art and building the decentralised world of art + tech.
We aim to be a place for creative minds to come together to make true connection, learn new things, experiment, enjoy themselves and have fun together through arts. We believe that art, has power to inspired and move people’s hearts. Art can be one of the important factors for crypto mass adoption especially for people with non-technical background. Art is the great communication tools to convey great ideas in the world as well as the best innovation playground. We encourage and support collaboration between art and technology.

Exhibitions
Beyond Unique Transformation Twist (B.U.T.T.)
IRL Exhibition at Chignitta Gallery in Osaka (July 2024)
Artists are crazily extreme perfectionist when it comes to creating artworks. Although perfection leads to high quality of works, but repetition also limits artists to have fun and explore new possibilities to expand their horizon. With this exhibition we encourage artists to losen up, mock their own perfectionism, and create something they have never done before.
