With the noise of memecoin season dying down, the NFT space is turning its eye back to the thing that makes up the heart and soul of the community: art. For those looking to dive back into the cultural side of Web3 (or just interested in checking out one of the most community-based NFT projects out there), World of Women’s Spring Artfest is a must-see.
World of Women is a household name in the NFT world. Started by artist Yam Karkai in an effort to represent and onboard women to Web3, the brand’s two main collections — World of Women and World of Women Galaxy — have done over 113,452 ETH ($200 million) in total volume. Among the various utilities and IRL events WoW offers collection holders are initiatives to support and bring attention to diverse and underrepresented artists in the space. Artfest, WoW’s quarterly celebration of creativity, is one of them.
Curating NFTs for the community
WoW’s Spring Artfest features editioned work from 16 artists in the space, hand-picked by Yam Karkai. WoW holders can check their eligibility (which is linked to the skin tone trait of their WoW NFTs) to mint these pieces. They include artwork from Sara Baumann, Alinadore, Orabel, Essa, Superama, Jacklyn, Varvara Alay, Kelly Hsiao, Rewind Collective, Sera Stargirl, Chris Alliel, Rhi Madeline, YuYu, Glam Beckett, Saeko Ehara, and Smeccea.
