On September 21st, digital art lovers gathered at The Canvas 3.0 at the Oculus in New York City to celebrate and appreciate the complex heritage and diverse artistic expression of Latin American artists.
The fun night of women empowerment, Latin heritage celebration, stunning digital art, and yummy empanadas was a wonderful opportunity to experience the power and creativity of rich culture and inspiring diversity.

Prominent female leaders, creators, and developers in the Web3 industry spoke at the panel and addressed existing gender inequalities.
