This is Bottega’s official Manifesto. It represents the group's founding act and its declaration of intent. Minted on the blockchain in the form of a smart contract, it attests to the birth of the movement.

VISION

Bottega is a decentralized collective of artists, collectors, curators, critics, writers, and developers, who are passionate about art, blockchain, and new technologies.

Our action is focused and inspired by the Crypto Art movement and we explore all kinds of contemporary artistic expression. Courage, boldness, and independence are essential elements of our poetry.

We exalt the value of individual expression through creativity.We embrace the concept of Decentralisation, both artistic and financial, and of the intellect. We reaffirm the value of intellectual property, and individual critical thinking, and promote the achievement of economic independence for every artist.

We want Art to be usable and within everyone's reach, not destined for an elitist circuit, freed from the speculative conventions of the contemporary and mainstream market, bringing the artist and his work back to the center of attention, without intermediaries, fostering a real and direct exchange with enthusiasts and collectors

Bottega is a center for ideas and cultural exchange, with the aim of promoting and disseminating art through not exclusively canonical information and communication channels, using new technologies such as NFTs, Blockchain, AR,VR, AI.

Bottega promotes itself as an active part of Web 3 development and innovation, always emphasizing conceptuality, research, and the artistic and technological avant-garde.

MISSION

Bottega's action focuses on facilitating the development and divulgation of Crypto Art, as well as forging fearless explorers of Web 3.0 on the Italian scene.

Bottega will create one of the largest collections of Italian Crypto Artists in history.

Bottega sits fluidly between the concept of an art movement and that of an art foundation, a cultural hub that fosters synergies and the development of projects, both collective and individual, supporting the artistic journey from its genesis to its final goal.

The workforce of the members and collaborators will be the lifeblood of a place of importance and relevance in the Italian and international art scene.

Bottega is a movement in motion; heterogeneity is our homogeneity.
