What is Minty.art?
Minty.art powers creativity by pioneering digital patronage
We believe in using technology in inventive ways to empower both artists and collectors; revolutionising the way modern-day art is created, bought and sold.
We stand up for artists: opening their eyes to the possibilities technology brings to help them create a fairer, more trustworthy and more rewarding livelihood. We will support, democratise and modernise art ownership: finding new ways of connecting collectors and patrons to the art and artists they love.
We fight for what matters, with principles, dedication and hard-work, focused on our goals, not our own glory. We want to create a better, fairer and more creative future, and use our own creativity with technology to help realise that vision.
