The First Sip

In the very first episode of The Artists Sip, JMES WORLD founders Madelyn Deville and Manfred Michel sit down together for the first time on record. JMES WORLD is more than art, it’s a culture built for artists, collectors, creatives, believers, and everyone who wants to be part of something bigger. We bring people together, create real connections, and build a community that feels like family, a place where artists, collectors, and creatives meet, collaborate, grow, and shape culture together. Through Co-Ownership, exhibitions, events, physical spaces, and the Culture Club, JMES WORLD makes art accessible and redefines how art is experienced, shared, and owned. In this episode they talk openly about where JMES WORLD started, what they are building toward, and the events that have already brought the vision to life. They also get personal about their own experiences navigating the creative industry as two working artists, what it taught them, what frustrated them, and why it led them to build something of their own. Topics covered in this episode: — The founding story of JMES WORLD — What it means to build a cultural platform by artists for artists — Their experience of building towards Berlin Art Week and the DREAM ON event — Life as a musician and visual artist in today's creative industry — What JMES WORLD is building next JMES WORLD is a Berlin based cultural platform at the intersection of art, music, fashion and community.
