# Nouns @ DevConnect 2025
# 📌 TL;DR
We’re bringing the art of storytelling, onchain minting, and risograph printing together in Buenos Aires for DevConnect 2025. "The Nouns Fair: Draw ETH. Mint ETH. Print ETH." is a hands-on activation where artists will jam, draw, mint on Ethereum, and print their creations live with a risograph.
It’s part art residency, part minting lab, part print studio — and all Ethereum x Nouns.
# 🎡 The Nouns Fair: Draw ETH. Mint ETH. Print ETH.
In November, we will host an art minting and printing lab at DevConnect 2025 in Buenos Aires in partnership with the Ethereum Foundation. This creative space will welcome thousands of the 10-20k expected attendees throughout the week, to make Ethereum the home of art and culture, hosting artists to merge visual storytelling with Ethereum x Nouns and risograph printing.
We will produce an event experience featuring a complete lab for minting and printing artworks from selected artists, along with a display of artworks and physical pieces from past Nouns projects, Nouns vibes, and community elements.
We'll invite a cohort of 10 artists (because Ethereum's 10th anniversary!), new local artists, and known ones in the Nouns community, to participate in a short-term art residency at the Ethereum's World Fair — helping root this project in the local creative community.
The minting and printing lab will operate during DevConnect throughout the week, where artists will:
- Develop mini narratives & visual stories
- Learn about NFTs in a no-BS way
- Mint their creations as collectibles on Ethereum
- Print their work live on a vintage-style risograph machine
And general attendees will:
- Learn about NFTs in a no-BS way
- Get Nouns' merch and swag
- Have fun with a nounish installation
- Meet nounish artists
DevConnect is Ethereum's most relevant and highly expected event of the year. We will transform the space into an art lab, where attendees will witness the creative process, engage with artists, and their artworks. We want to create a connection with Ethereum through the playful spirit of Nouns. We aim to bring Nouns' good vibes to the core, making Nouns the cultural and visual layer of Ethereum.
Fun fact: we’ve handed out Nouns risography prints at every edition of the Nouns Fair. For us, it’s fun to spark conversations about new technologies and creative practices while grounding them in traditional media, bringing together both worlds. Using risography feels fitting—its punk, DIY spirit of self-publishing echoes the cypherpunk ethos at the heart of Ethereum.
