Art&Revel started as an idea on the r/bitcoin subreddit in 2014 that morphed into what it is today: an agency with the mission to help carve paths for innovative teams working within the creator economy.
Honoring the ‘A&R’ monicker most often referred to as meaning “artists and repertoire” in music, Art&Revel exists to honor the celebration of expression from innovators and creators who aim to build the best ideas into the next great product.
