Arcadia: The City of Arts

Project details match catalog

About

Arcadia is building a new city, a modern day art colony, in Puerto Rico for artists. We are curating the centerpiece for a new creative era, akin to how Los Angeles & Hollywood defined the entertainment industry or Florence shaped the Renaissance.

Impact

Arcadia transforms the creative economy by giving artists ownership of their work and a community built for expression. Our decentralized city model is a regenerative ecosystem, ensuring creativity fuels economic and social progress worldwide.

Progress

Secured angel funding, built a dedicated team, connected with key officials in Puerto Rico, composed Arcadia’s economic model, and built the foundation for our first community studio in Atlanta launching this year.

Team

I've lived the artist’s struggle—homeless while building Arcadia and challenging the status quo. My deep understanding governance, economics, and the systems that impede artists worldwide uniquely equips me to pioneer a city designed for artists.

Funding

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
