Maskay is a Web3 art and creator community from the NOA region (Northwest Argentina), founded on a continuous search for innovation and exploration in digital art and blockchain technology. Our mission is to democratize knowledge and access to digital tools, providing development opportunities in an environment where technological, educational, and economic inequalities create a vast gap from the world’s urban sociocultural centers.

Aware of the technological infrastructure limitations and digital access challenges faced by artists in the NOA, at Maskay we value blockchain technology as a key tool that opens new pathways for creativity, autonomy, and growth. However, we also encourage ingenuity and adaptability within the community, motivating members to use their skills to overcome any challenges that may arise due to a lack of resources. In this way, we foster an environment where innovation and collaboration combine to break down barriers, showing that limited access to certain resources does not prevent creators in this region from finding ways to transcend, using digital means to showcase their work to the world.
✦ We engage in collecting and curating, fostering the development of art in the multichain.
✦ We provide support and onboarding to artists from the NOA region, other regional areas of Argentina, and rural territories, connecting them to the Web3 ecosystem.
✦ We organize collective drops, bringing together emerging artists with established creators in the Web3 space.
✦ We host art exhibitions both in the digital realm and in real-life (IRL) events.
✦ We are builders, connecting with communities, creating spaces for artist visibility and strengthening creative ecosystems.
✦ We aim to facilitate access to technology and devices to bridge the local digital divide.

Decentralization is driven by constant change; in Web3, everything is transformation. At Maskay, our motto since 2021 has been "Artists support artists", because we believe that only mutual support among artists will help us adapt to constant evolution.
Maskay is a space of gathering and belonging, where each member finds a place to grow and collaborate within the community. Inspired by the idea that “my home is my friends’ home,” Maskay becomes a refuge and a mutual support platform for local artists, promoting creative development and access to digital technology.
A shared home of innovation, authenticity, and support.
We are a community founded by and for artists, a space of support and collectivity where the motto “Artists support artists” prevails. Our purpose is to mobilize and raise awareness of the importance of cooperation, not only as a means for individual growth but also as a tool to strengthen the artistic scene in the region.
In Argentina, the NOA region (Northwest Argentina, peripheral territories, and rural areas) faces significant challenges in accessing technology and digital resources, which limits the integration of its creators into the global web3 ecosystem. Limited infrastructure and the distance from sociocultural and technological centers make it difficult for local artists to take advantage of digital art and blockchain—areas with great potential for creative independence and global exposure.
Onboarding in Web3 from NOA requires not only tools but also an adapted strategy that brings these concepts closer to artists who, without adequate resources or internet access, can find in these platforms a way to expand their reach. In this context, Maskay establishes itself as a support network, offering guidance, collaboration, and development so that artists can access these digital environments and be valued internationally, overcoming technological and geographic barriers without losing autonomy over their own culture.
