Curation agency, ArtRepublic, recently announced a monthly NFT event series at Samsung’s flagship experience store in New York City to inspire the creative community. On April 29th, ArtRepublic presented a first of its kind NFT exhibit at Samsung 837 marking the mainstream adoption of digital art to the consumer level.
More than 75 guests arrived to view the colossal sized NFTs on Samsung 837’s Brand Wall which stands at a width of 7680px and height at 6480px. Digital works were exhibited by five world class artists who later participated in a panel discussion, moderated by ArtRepublic Curator, Jessica Santiago, on how their NFTs were inspired, made and minted.
The NFTs were also displayed on 15+ new Samsung 2022 Neo QLED and Frame TVs so attendees could experience its new platform to explore, collect and present digital NFT artwork. The next event in this series will be Thursday, May 19th from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Samsung 837 (837 Washington Street, NY, NY 10014).
“Natural Phenomenon” presented five notable New York digital artists with works that lean into nature, high levels of motion and rich colorful textures. Artists Shane Griffin, Breakfast, Matea Friend, Jesse Woolston and Nate Mohler, have solidified their presence in the digital art space with notable sales, diverse portfolios, and academic recognition. Their digital NFTs can be seen here in the exhibit catalog and will be available for purchase through SuperRare or OpenSea with a reserve auction.
Jessica Santiago, ArtRepublic CEO and Curator, said:
“Our collaboration with Samsung marks a path to NFT mainstream adoption by offering the public a chance to hear from artists directly on how they are harnessing the technology to be more empowered and attracting new collectors to this space. Inviting creatives and customers to co-mingle in the digital playground Samsung 837 represents is exactly what the public needs to envision a self-curated gallery of digital works that can be displayed right at home.”
At Samsung 837, people can get a first look at Samsung’s new 2022 Neo QLED, QLED and Frame TVs, which offer consumers a one-stop NFT platform to explore and display NFT digital art, as well as a new way to collect and present artworks.
