THE AFRICAN NFT COMMUNITY IS REBRANDING!

The decision to rebrand the African NFT Community to African NFT Curated stems from our evolving goals and commitment to better serve the African artistic community.

As the community grew exponentially, we realized the need to focus on artist-oriented ventures and provide a platform that showcases exceptional talent from Africa and the diaspora.

By shifting our emphasis to curation, we can elevate artists, represent them in a positive light, and foster their growth on their journey to becoming fully-fledged artists. This rebranding allows us to align our vision and mission more precisely while amplifying the impact we can have on the African NFT space.

WHAT IS AFRICAN NFT CURATED?

African NFT Curated is dedicated to showcasing extraordinary artistic talent from Africa and the diaspora. As the rebranded hub of the African NFT Community, our focus is on curatorial excellence and providing opportunities for African artists to gain recognition and exposure in the NFT ecosystem.

With meticulous curation, we select artworks that exemplify creativity, innovation, and cultural significance.

Through promotional exhibits, curated drops, and collaborations with key industry players, we aim to propel the careers of artists of African descent or based on the continent or diaspora.

African NFT Curated is a gateway to discovering remarkable artistry that reflects the rich and diverse African cultural heritage.

WHAT IS THE AFRICAN NFT COLLECTIVE?

African NFT Collective is a dynamic and inclusive community-driven platform within the ANC ecosystem. Our primary focus is on community engagement, supporting smaller artists, and fostering a friendly and adventurous atmosphere.

Through active participation on platforms like Twitter Spaces and other community spaces, we uplift and amplify the voices of emerging artists, providing them with valuable exposure opportunities.

Additionally, we actively research and share information about grants, open calls, and art-related opportunities to empower artists in their creative journey.

African NFT Collective serves as a vibrant hub where artists and enthusiasts connect, collaborate, and thrive together, contributing to the growth and visibility of the African artistic community.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE AFRICAN NFT COMMUNITY?

The community, comprising passionate collectors, curators, artists, and enthusiasts, is the heart and soul of our African NFT ecosystem. It serves as the house of the web 3 DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization.

Embracing the principles of decentralization and collective governance, our DAO empowers members to actively participate in decision-making through voting. The collective spirit and engagement within our community thrive as we foster collaboration, inclusivity, dialogue, and knowledge-sharing.

Together, we shape the direction, initiatives, and priorities of our ecosystem, honoring the diverse needs and aspirations of the web 3 community. This vibrant tapestry of African creativity, enriched by our community’s contributions, unfolds within the NFT space.
