    Welcome to NFTCast!  Please subscribe, rate, and review in your favorite podcast app. NFTCast is brought to you by Doki Doki - the most fun you can have collecting great art.  https://degacha.com Our guests today are Claire Silver and Ben Roy from Accelerate Art. These two dynamic people are creating a fantastic way to showcase artists in the MetaVerse and helping them become artists with a presence in the NFT world.  ------ How they met and created Art Accelerate  Why they created it and what they hope it will do for artists in the NFT space How Claire became an artist after having a chronic illness How Claire creates AI based art and what that process involves Why Ben has an interest and enthusiasm for art.  Structure of the organization as a non-profit What they are actually doing and how they are building a vault of art - a permanent gallery of artists How they might tokenize the art they collect.  Functioning as a non-profit with other galleries as well.  The first cohort of their organization, what the artists are like and what they are looking for in artists for their project We discuss their list of first artists -  Justin Aversano - a photographer - Miami Punk invasion Felipo Mugni - a digital artist they found on Instagram doing abstract portrait art with a punk vibe Bad Munks - Luke Shannon - Generative art Shivon Wong - Beautiful ethereal 3D feminine portraits Amerat Paul Sing - Cute pop toy faces - female astronauts recently Help them take care of the minting.  Not taking a percentage in the first show They did an auction to bring these folks up Interesting building them in cryptovoxels, because of what they have to do to get them used to what happens in cryptovoxels.  Accessibility is important, because IRL it is difficult to get people to galleries in the real world, but with metaverse, it is much easier for them to experience.  Working with a gallery in the Bronx for a gallery to let anyone can put up their art and just have it in Cryptovoxels. No submissions or gate keeping.  They are in the trial process to figure out how they want it to work, but for now doing OpenSea based auctions.  Artists are minting the pieces themselves now, but may be doing layer 2.  Get into the details of what they think may happen, but are being smart about how they roll  it out.  Are going to increase to 8 artists where 4 are thematic for each show/community.  How they foresee working with artists and what they will provide will really be based upon their needs and where they are at this time.  Brainstorming ideas for expanding what they do.  Vision for creating an art district in Cryptovoxels and they are in the right place there to do it - gangnam district.  Launching a support token https://y.at/%F0%9F%9A%80%F0%9F%8E%A8%F0%9F%8D%BE https://twitter.com/accelerateart https://twitter.com/benroy__ https://twitter.com/clairesilver12
