The Council has several very important roles in the Artano community. They are responsible for initial curation efforts on Artano. They act as nodes in creating a global network of artists, bringing a diversity of art forms, experience and world views. The Council, with their close connection to the Artano community, will be able to advise the core Artano team on development and collaboration efforts to continually support the development of the platform.   The council members are a group of 20 globally selected people from the art community. They are digital artists and collectors or people highly engaged with digital artists from all around the world. They are painters, motion designers, CGI artists, curators, film makers, and much more.
