Recently, the cryptocurrency industry and the NFT sector haven't been doing so well. However, there are always exceptions. With Artblock's works appearing in auctions and fetching high prices, some people can still feel a glimmer of warmth in this cold winter. It's quite coincidental that the project I'm introducing today also focuses on digital art and has gained significant momentum.

The Story of Artcrush

In August 2022, Artcrush began showcasing digital art on the streets of various cities, starting with Brussels and rapidly expanding to global locations like Times Square, Miami, London, Tokyo, Paris, and more. They partnered with forward-thinking outdoor advertising companies to support digital art and artists using digital billboards.

Artcrush exhibits outstanding artworks on up to 100,000 digital billboards worldwide. The team has already completed the first season of a world tour in ten different countries and is currently preparing for the open call for artists' submissions for the second season. On June 30th, they will hold an exhibition and auction at the IHAM Gallery in Paris. Additionally, Artcrush's membership NFTs will be launched on June 27th.

Mission

Artcrush's mission is to bring exceptional digital artworks into the hearts and lives of millions of people, and they are filled with anticipation and passion for this endeavor.

Community

The Artcrush community is at the core of the project. Community members will have the opportunity to own a portion of Artcrush, contribute to the Artcrush gallery, and voice their opinions in important decisions. Artcrush welcomes everyone to join and collaborate in transforming cities through digital art.

Conclusion

Artcrush brings together hundreds of digital artists from around the world, continuing to make waves in the world of art-based NFTs. Exhibitions always serve as the best means of showcasing NFTs, extending from Web2 to large screens, providing digital artists with a bigger stage. We also hope that one day, when passing by a commercial street or a square, everyone's NFT collections will appear on the big screens. Perhaps it will provoke bragging about one's own taste and attract envious gazes. It may even lead to blending in with the crowd, wearing a hoodie with a smile, silently enjoying both fame and accomplishment.
