We Rise Better Together.
Illuminate your creative potential with Sunrise Art Club
Sunrise Art Club, by Elise Swopes, specializes in planning mixers and curated galleries for brands and individuals. We create immersive experiences that make a lasting impact. Our focus is on wellness, empowerment, and cultural activations.
We believe biology is the best tool to face our global challenges. We use locally produced agro-industrial fruit waste as raw material to craft a sustainable leather alternative. By manufacturing with the building blocks of life and circularizing supply chains, we produce a superior material while prioritizing our planet.
Natural systems are cyclical; waste becomes nutrients that initiate new growth. By learning from nature, Polybion™ developed a production model that is not linear but a loop, simultaneously alleviating three major environmental problems: livestock, food waste, and plastic. This represents a paradigm shift from centuries of resource-mining practices to the regenerative cultivation of resources. Polybion™ is proud to be leading this charge.
Founded by brothers Axel and Alexis Gómez Ortigoza with Bárbara González Rolón, PhD, Polybion™ is a diverse group of biotechnologists, chemists, biologists, engineers, financiers, creatives, designers, and political scientists. We take inspiration from natural processes and organisms, and we share a common dream to create a better world.

Swopes.gallery, created in 2021, is an educational and meditative art gallery and event space. Ogar designed the Swopes Gallery in Voxels, a virtual world, in collaboration with Swopes. The first floor is a gallery space with over 30 NFTs with a backyard for live performances hosted through Twitch or YouTube. The second floor is an affirmation haven with written quotes by Swopes; the third is Web3 education. On the other hand, the roof is a breath of fresh pixels where one can relax.
