Arcadia
The 2023 writers’ strike unveiled the belated need for a new creative haven and a better system to facilitate its production. Formal art colonies have been established since the 19th century. The arts deserve a new ecosystem rooted in holistic artistry and creative sovereignty that challenges the commodified nature of traditional creative systems.
Arcadia is building a charter city in Puerto Rico designed to reshape the global creative economy by providing artists and creative institutions with the physical, economic, and digital infrastructure they need to flourish. We exist to establish a decentralized and bespoke infrastructure that fosters an unparalleled cultural renaissance, drawing the most flourishing artists and creative institutions in the world. We are curating the centerpiece for a new creative era, akin to how Los Angeles and Hollywood defined the entertainment industry or Florence shaped the Renaissance.
