What is art's role in Web3?
How can artists collaborate with and on the blockchain?
How do NFTs serve artists and the art world?
What work messages best in the NFT medium?
This is mowna's first exhibition on the Tezos blockchain. We were drawn to Tezos for its #CleanNFT, the blossoming experimental art scene, and the exciting generative artwork coming from the fxhash platform. The artwork that is being made on the Tezos blockchain is among the most interesting to have been created, with artists pushing the limits on technologies, financial models, culture, science, nature, philosophy, media, communication, and more.
We have curated 66 artists from 29 countries working in the genres of animation, film, gifs, generative, toys, games, poetry, paintings, photographs, interactive, 3-dimensional sculpture, petscii/ascii, sound, and video loops.
Artists featured: ailadi, Aluan Wang, Andreas Rau & Marcelo Soria-Rodríguez, Anna Malina, Augurs, [ a y s h ], Burka Bayram, Ce Vignolo, Diego de los Campos, Diego Lazzarin, diewiththemostlikes, Eddie Lee, Elna Frederick, Elsa Muray, Empress Trash, ertdfgcvb, ferluht & OOPO, Frank Force, Huw Messie, Iñigo Bilbao, Iskra Velitchkova & Zach Lieberman, Johan Karlsson, Karsten Schmidt, LIA, Liam Egan, Linda Dounia, Lola Dupre, Lorna Mills, Luiz André Gama, lulu xXX, makeitrad, Mario Klingemann, Micah Alhadeff, Monokai, Nathaniel Stern & Sasha Stiles, NeoSutras, Nude Robot, Orfhlaith Egan, Parallax Rendering & Tezopunk, Phlins, Pierre Gervois, Quilla Nina, qubibi, Radarboy3000, Renata Janiszewska, Rodell Warner, Rose Jackson, s_r_r_z_, Sabato Visconti & Sky Goodman, Somfay, Spøgelsesmaskinen, Stellabelle, SV3ZR, TENDER x William Watkins, Tommy Mintz, Unicorn Stew, V4W.ENKO, W3irDtrip, Wioulet, ZALA

Artists may submit up to 10 works of art per submission. Selected artists will be paid 70% of ticket and membership sales from the show, with the other 30% paying for the creation of the platform. There is no submission fee to apply.
All mediums of art including video art, vr, ar, xr, interactive, gif, painting, drawing, photography, graphics, printmaking, sculpture, sound, fashion, software, performance, and all other wild and newfangled mediums are accepted. Work must have been completed after January 1, 2020. Work shall be original and entirely the work of the artist. Anonymous submissions, works made by bots, collectives, organizations, etc are all allowed. Deadline for submissions is August 20, 2021 12 PM ET.
