We're very happy to officially announce the launch of the #Bitcoin #Artist #Guild! Allow us to introduce ourselves...

Like Bitcoin itself, the Bitcoin Artist Guild is a voluntary, opt-in collective of Artists that create Bitcoin-themed artworks as well as Bitcoin art-focused businesses. We’re launching with 17 Artists and 2 Businesses as Members!

The purpose of the Guild is to encourage a Bitcoin-positive code of conduct among our Members, collaboratively support each other in our individual artistic careers, and form an organization to provide benefits to our Members.

As the name “Bitcoin Artist Guild” implies, we are “Bitcoin only”. Our Members agree with and abide by our Member Pledge which outlines our agreed code of conduct in relation to collaboration among each other as well as creation, promotion, and distribution of Bitcoin artworks.

The Guild organization provides certain Member Benefits to all dues-paying Members. Monthly dues are transparently derived directly from the costs of these benefits as well as a small amount of padding for various expenses such as taxes and fees.

Any excess income beyond expenses is stacked as sats in our Guild Treasury. These savings will be used for future expansion of benefits and potential one-off expenses such as grants, sponsorships, and more.

The Guild is governed by its Members and operated by its Directors. Members may suggest initiatives for vote and each Member gets one vote in any governance decision put to the Members by the Directors.

Initiatives for vote would include items such as adding new ongoing Member Benefits, approving large expenses from the Guild Treasury, and other ongoing important decisions. The Guild is run by its Members, for its Members.

If you’d like to keep tabs on what we’re up to, please follow this account! We’ll also be posting original content, Member profiles, events, and other information here. You can also find us on X (Twitter) and Instagram.
