About Distributed Creatives

Distributed Creatives is a revolutionary nonprofit organization on a mission to empower artists, foster global creativity, and reshape the art economy for the digital age. Founded in Boulder, Colorado by a group of lifelong artists, our organization emerged from a deep understanding of the challenges facing creators in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Our Roots

Born from the vibrant artistic community of Boulder, Distributed Creatives was established by a collective of passionate artists who have dedicated their lives to creative pursuits. Our founders, having navigated the complexities of the art world themselves, recognized the urgent need for a new paradigm that empowers artists in the digital age. Inspired by Boulder’s innovative spirit and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Colorado Rockies, they envisioned a global creative ecosystem that combines cutting-edge technology with the timeless value of artistic expression.

Our Vision

We envision a world where art is recognized as a fundamental driver of economic growth, social progress, and individual well-being. A world where artists have the tools, resources, and platforms to create, collaborate, and thrive without traditional gatekeepers. A world where art is accessible to all, integrated into daily life, and valued as a vital component of society.

What We Do

At the heart of Distributed Creatives are five core projects that work synergistically to create a comprehensive ecosystem supporting artists at every stage of their career:

  • The Show: A multi-platform streaming variety show that showcases diverse artistic talents to a global audience.
  • Local Artist Network (LAN): A digital signage network that brings art into public spaces and local businesses, making creativity a part of everyday life.
  • Chain of Creators: A blockchain-based system for creating and tracking provenance of composable NFTs, ensuring fair compensation and transparent ownership.
  • Metaverse: A virtual space for immersive artistic experiences and global collaboration, pushing the boundaries of digital creativity.

Our Commitment

As a nonprofit, we’re committed to operating with transparency, accountability, and a focus on maximizing benefit to the artistic community. We believe in:

  • Fostering a culture of creativity and innovation
  • Ensuring fair compensation for artists
  • Promoting sustainability in the digital art world
  • Democratizing access to art creation and appreciation
  • Bridging the gap between traditional and digital art forms

Drawing from our roots in Boulder’s community-oriented culture, we strive to create a global network that maintains the warmth and support of a local art scene.
