Another great news from Venezuela after the one from last week in Sucre.
This time it is from the capital Caracas, where two teams of Hivers met with museum officials on two separate occasions.
The second time, they made a 3-point proposal that involves:
- training the museum's artists into Web3, especially NFT and Hive art
- carrying out joint dissemination activities; potential examples: Hive artists exhibiting at the museum, exhibitions organized by Hive in shopping malls, to bring people closer to the artists of the museum
- creating an NFT gallery of the museum itself, in the style of @nftshowroom (only for museum artists)
The proposal was accepted by the museum.
Here is the announcement post.
What Does it Bring the Museum?
I don't know if that's true, but the General Director of the museum said it would be the first museum in the world to directly create an NFT art platform. You can tell they especially loved this last point.
They would get more exposure both for the museum and for their artists. Potential of advertising and even hyping this.
Their artists get trained in a field that may disrupt their world.
What Does it Bring Hive?
More exposure (and credibility?) as an NFT art platform.
If the part for Hive artists exhibiting at the museum becomes reality and that is for Hivers that are not artists of the museum, that gives (probably some) Hive artists a physical location to exhibit at, where many wouldn't otherwise have access to.
And last but not least, curious eyes (including buyers) that search through the museum's NFT gallery may also look for other artists creating on the same blockchain... The reverse may also be true if there are links between the websites.
In Closing
Venezuela definitely became one of the powerhouses of Hive, when it comes to field action, in-person marketing/teaching, and general activity.
Since I started aggregating and integrating this kind of news in my weekly roundup, I can see a clearer picture of what is going on and I see a few countries and regions that seem to excel in this direction: Venezuela, Ghana, the Philippines, maybe Cuba. If you know more of them that will help me see the overall picture better, I'd be happy if you drop me a comment on what account(s) to follow.
