    Avalanche launches initiative for digital artists, NFT creator protests Sotheby’s gender bias, and more 

     The Avalanche Foundation has launched a new mentoring initiative for
    digital artists, and Ticketmaster has introduced a new feature allowing
    artists to reward NFT holders. 

     

    In a March 30 blog post,
    The Avalanche Foundation announced the launch of Avaissance, an
    initiative designed to support digital artists and boost the growth of
    the Avalanche nonfungible token (NFT) ecosystem.

    Avaissance has
    two main components, an Artist in Resident program (AIR) for over 50
    artists and the Mona Lisa Initiative (MLI) to curate digital art and
    expand the collections of art-focused decentralized autonomous
    organizations (DAOs).



    AIR will provide artists “of any skill level” with funding,
    mentorship and virtual workshops for six months, while MLI will
    collaborate with DAOs’ curatorial teams to promote emerging Avalanche
    NFT artists and establish an “Avalanche Permanent Collection.”

    Ticketmaster introduces new feature for artists to reward fans using NFTs

    On March 27, United States-based ticketing company Ticketmaster announced
    a new feature token gated ticket sales, which allow artists to reward
    NFT holders with exclusive benefits, including “special presales, prime
    seats, custom travel packages and access to unique concert experiences.”

    The
    ticketing giant developed the functionality after being approached by
    American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold (A7X) and its Web3 team,
    Bitflips, to help implement a service to provide holders of their NFTs –
    Deathbats Club, a collection of 10,000 unique Deathbat NFTs – the
    opportunity to unlock perks and access to events.

    The feature currently works with tokens minted on Ethereum

    and stored in decentralized application (DApp) wallets, including MetaMask or Coinbase.
