Art & Craft Day in CDMX
Art & Craft Day: Human Expression meets RWA
📍 CDMX | 📅 Tuesday, July 7 | ⏰ 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
🌎 The Canvas is Shifting: Why CDMX, Why Now?
Mexico City is no longer just a historical treasure; it is a global powerhouse of contemporary art. As the anchor of the international art calendar, headlined by cultural phenomena like Zona Maco drawing over 80,000 visitors annually. CDMX sets the trends that the world follows. Simultaneously, Mexico has rapidly evolved into the third-largest cryptocurrency hub in Latin America, commanding a staggering $41.1 Billion digital asset market.
Art & Craft Day is the definitive collision of these two explosive forces.
Digital and tokenized art has shattered the glass ceilings of the traditional art world. From historic, eye-watering milestones like Beeple’s Everydays selling at Christie's for $69.3 Million, to a global digital artwork market valued at $6.82 Billion, digital mediums have proven their permanent commercial legitimacy. This event brings that paradigm shift to Mexico City, offering local creators a blueprint to bypass traditional gatekeepers, secure lifelong royalties, and protect their intellectual property through blockchain innovation.
🎨 What to Expect
Conference Stage (80-capacity): Fast-paced, high-impact 20-minute talks covering digital art techniques, fractionalized tokenization, royalties, and copyright.
