Rare, Collectible Digital Art Is Here to Stay

 

Rare digital art is a movement to take internet assets that have previously been infinitely copyable (songs, memes, etc) and turn them into provably rare, tradable blockchain assets. From "Rare Pepe Wallet" to the recent explosion of Crypto Kitties into the mainstream consciousness, it is clear that rare digital art is more than just a fringe movement experiment. 

 

Collectible digital art is a real, fully functioning blockchain use case that people love. It's time for creators and supporters of rare digital art to get together in New York City to meet and exchange ideas about the future of the medium. Tommy Nicholas and Rare Art Labs are thrilled to be organizing this first event of its kind in New York City.
