Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 72 - art2act - Bridging the gap to web3 for traditional artists
For today’s episode, we’re excited to welcome Tomás Serrano Ramires, and Gastão Pinto de Oliveira, Co-Founders of art2act, a web3 movement dedicated to empowering artists by using the power of web3 to help them thrive financially, and by building a more accessible arts world through decentralization. In this episode we discuss some of the challenges facing artists in the traditional arts sector, how web3 can help address these challenges, their upcoming genesis NFT collection featuring 150 artists from 50 countries, the future of the web3 art space, and much more.
Three Key Takeaways
The traditional arts space is heavily gatekept, and artists who have dedicated their lives to their artistic practice are facing substantial barriers making it difficult to financially thrive.
One way that we can help bridge the gap to web3 for traditional artists is by shifting the narrative of crypto and NFTs by showing the world the good that is being done with the technology.
Web3 presents an incredible opportunity to bring artists together from around the world together and create collective success, as is evidence by art2act’s genesis collection involving 150 artists from over 50 countries.
