Arts DAO has collaborated with Kristel Bechara, the region’s first NFT artist, to release its inaugural NFT drop, ‘The Ethernal Gates.’ The community’s NFT collection, which will debut on June 5, will include 2,000 NFTs with pricing starting at 0.49 ETH ($1,000).
Bechara’s collection is a collection of generative art works, which means that each artwork is made up of numerous aesthetic features that are randomly constructed, making each piece completely original and unique.
Bechara, a Dubai-based award-winning artist, is known for her signature blend of brilliant colours and images that embody the ideal blend of fine and digital art.
A membership to Arts DAO, the Middle East’s largest NFT community, is included with the purchase of an Ethernal Gate NFT. Arts DAO is led by a committee of NFT experts who curate and invest in a diverse portfolio of NFTs such as the ‘Bored Ape Yacht Club’ and the ‘RTFKT’ ‘Studios’ Clone X collection.
Anas Bhurtun, Co-Founder and CEO of Arts DAO says, “Dubai is home to one of the strongest and largest NFT communities in the world thanks to Dubai promoting itself as a crypto hub and attracting a lot of young, like-minded people who are passionate about Web3.” Our goal at Arts DAO is to become the Middle East’s largest NFT collector DAO, and launching the Ethernal Gates NFTs will allow investors to diversify their portfolios while also allowing Arts DAO to collect and fund NFT projects in the Middle East.”
“One of the major challenges in the NFT space is keeping track of all the projects that are released each day, from launch dates to the teams behind them, as locating all of the information on their discord and website is a very difficult task,” he continued. Members of the Arts DAO will be part of a communal treasury that will invest Ethereum on their behalf in a portfolio of blue chip and rising NFT collections, as well as supporting enthusiastic entrepreneurs in the NFT field across art, gaming, collectibles, and the metaverse.”
