Inspiration
If you've been to Nigeria you’ll occasionally see beautiful art pieces on display on the street. I stopped to admire one at a time and I thought to myself “what is this doing here, this should be in an expensive frame on auction at Christie’s.
What it does
- Artists create art around a social theme (e.g mental health), top art works are selected, marketed, and sold as one collection. This will give recognition to artists, generate revenue for a cause they are all passionate about and earn these artists money.
- Education & Community for artists. especially on opportunities and strategies to sell more art
- Fiat off-ramp for artistes in countries where crypto is banned. Got talent for Visual Artists.
Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of
