The Crypto Canvas: The Art of NFTs
Through art, we can inspire and directly impact change today and into the future.
One of the goals and power of cryptocurrency is to empower all of us. For some, it is creating change and reimagining what is possible, especially in regard to the financial system. For others, it is an opportunity to take control of their family’s future. It has the power to unite many of us all around the world for a common goal, a better system that has a place for many to work together for a better future.
NFTs are the most recent evolution and growth effort aligned with the power of crypto. NFTs are extremely powerful. For many, these are represented by inspiring art and creativity that resonates across chains, and for others, it is a utility or access to a community and so much more. We can all agree these are much more than JPGs. The foundation of NFTs is in smart contracts and through this project, we are making a commitment to focus on the art of NFTs. Let’s meet those behind the designs and learn their story.
The goal of this project is to celebrate the artist and their craft. By learning their story and passions we will connect with their art and perspective in a unique way. Art is a key piece in the evolution of Crypto and their connection through NFTs has played a large role in that. We will explore without focusing on utility, floor price, and related financial data points. Our goal is to give a voice to those who are bringing your favorite projects to life with their designs, art, and imagination.

This will be a cross-chain effort. As we stated our focus is on the Artists and their stories. This is not intended to be a competition across different chains or projects. When we own a project we will be candid and transparent about that in our discussions, but our hope is that by learning about the artist and learning their story you will see their passion and appreciate their energy and story more.
As we have done in the past with The 16oz. Canvas, our long-term hope is that we would be able to do IRL art events and gallery shows. This has been a successful formula in the past that has allowed us to raise money for charitable organizations and make an impact on our local community.
