Tezos has a rich history of art innovation through web3 native platforms like hic et nunc, objkt and fxhash. This dovetails with Tezos usage by globally famous institutions such as Musee d’Orsay and the Serpentine and a large number of entertainment projects including the likes of Manchester United and McLaren. The Arts and Culture vertical aims to find new and exciting ways for fans to get closer to the things they love most. Whether that is through art, sport, entertainment or other fandoms, the team is focused on supporting projects that fuel creativity and give users the chance to have a regular, deeper, more connected relationship with their passions.
Criteria: Projects should have a clear vision for regular, ongoing community engagement, promote creativity, diversity and inclusivity, foster education and understanding of Tezos. It is also crucial that all projects are backed with a strong lead/team with a clear path to onboarding users to their concept.
Projects that make the most of Tezos functionality and current/future use cases for artists to bring their creativity to life and to consolidate and or grow their collector base.
Projects that look to innovate on loyalty and engagement programmes that bring user retention and excitement. How can Tezos make the life of an art buyer, sports fan, music enthusiast better?
Through ecosystem partners we have an array of tools that make onboarding web2 audiences to web3 seamless and effective. We are interested in talking to IP owners about how we can work together to build new audiences either online or physically in owned and operated stadiums/institutions.
We are not currently considering any above the line marketing deals or sponsorship deals.
We are currently not looking to provide grants for physical art projects and will discount any applications that do not have a Tezos connection at the core of the idea.
