# About ARThentic ### Our Story In 2018, our founders Lee Bynoe and Nikhil Desai began to bring awareness to the talent in the Central Florida community by interviewing artists. As we grew, we started hosting events for the community. However, in 2020, everything was shut down due to Covid-19 and we had to pivot. We were introduced to NFTs, which allowed us to understand the possibilities of combining different elements of art and providing a new way of transactions, allowing everyone involved to retain a percentage of value. In 2021, we shifted our attention to education and began hosting workshops to onboard new users into Web3. We then created a project called [The Creative Blocks](https://www.arthentic.co/creative-blocks), which provides artists and businesses with the tools and resources to dive into the world of Web3. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
