Amplifying Artists in the Digital Realm.

For those who may be unfamiliar with the canonization of artwork, it essentially refers to the process of an artist’s work becoming popularized by a set of predefined criteria in which they are judged. Up till now, it meant that passionate artists all around the world hoping to share their message and work with the world were pushed aside to make room for pieces that met this society's standards and judgment for how they defined art. But really, who is to say how we define someone’s creative process? 

Through the popularization of artwork within the NFT space, there’s been a liberating boom in creativity among those seeking to share their work without risking that it be duplicated or stolen from them. As you know from our previous blog post, NFT’s essentially provide authentication of an artist’s work in a simpler route than what’s been afforded for such a long time. 

Reaping the benefits of digital popularization of artwork doesn’t end there… Because of the sudden popularity towards these creative arts, designers and creatives all around have been able to release such unique faceted collections that would’ve previously been turned down by the art canon. By celebrating imagination and artistry, their works are able to be adored by millions around the globe. Tearing down these traditional standards of art allows open access to self expression in some truly remarkable ways, even your neighbor Mark who seems to be obsessed with taking pictures of his cat. So next time you see a fellow artist post a piece, make sure to send some love their way so we can continue to support this movement!
