MIAMI, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — DigiArt (https://digiart.company), co-founded by Marcel Katz, Fred Hsu, and Robert Earl, announced today the launch of its innovative new platform designed to curate and promote the works of influential artists and creatives through the digital medium provided by Web3 and NFT technology. The first of DigiArt’s NFT drops will be Haculla by Harif Guzman.
Whether crypto-curious or native Web3 native, DigiArt offers an informed and inviting new space for community members to discuss art and culture trends, and community-oriented events. To headline its genesis collection, DigiArt has partnered with Harif Guzman and his globally recognized Haculla creation. Further NFT drops are planned to follow in partnership with leading 3D animator Vollut, Santlov the photographer and graphic artist behind the viral toysrlikeus campaign, and with Paa Joe, whose groundbreaking works are currently on display at the British Museum.
“DigiArt sits at the intersection of fine art and Web3, with explosive growth potential to reach the next billion users with real life benefits. I’m excited to partner with industry leaders like Marcel Katz and Robert Earl to bring the best of West Coast tech to huge traditional IRL industries such as Art and Hospitality,” said Fred Hsu.
Each NFT from future drops curated by DigiArt will give the holder access to exclusive merchandise and bonus events, including the opportunity to interact with new NFT drop artworks within a high-definition metaverse gallery.
According to Marcel Katz owner of The Art Plug and DigiArt co-founder, “DigiArt provides an experienced team of forward thinkers and tastemakers with years of specializing in art-centric experiences and events as well as artist relationships and collaborations like no other Web3 community.”
DigiArt has already committed to technological innovation by partnering with established Web3 native companies such as Unreal Engine developer Pixel Canvas, a winner of Epic Games’ MegaGrant, which supports generative NFT drops, purpose-built metaverse experiences, and can tailor a game’s functionality to an artist’s direction and style.
“DigiArt provides an authentic art- and community-centric team that connects collectors with true artists and creatives through online and face-to-face events, NFT artwork drops and new and unusual experiences”, said Earl Enterprises founder Robert Earl.
