The exclusive collaboration is thanks to a partnership with Notable.art, a platform designed to make fine art more accessible through NFTs.
TLDR
- Robinhood Wallet is launching an NFT giveaway with digital art platform Notable.art and artist Hunt Slonem
- There will be 4 total NFT giveaways, each featuring different exclusive artwork by Slonem
- Slonem is a renowned American artist known for his colorful Neo-Expressionist style and depictions of animals and exotic locales
- His physical artworks sell for tens of thousands of dollars but these NFTs will be free through the giveaway
- Participants who collect all 4 NFTs can purchase an exclusive physical print of one of the works
Over the next two months, there will be four different NFT drops, each featuring unique generative artwork minted by Slonem specifically for this campaign. Known for his colorful paintings of tropical birds, butterflies, and bunnies, the American artist’s neo-expressionist style typically sells for upwards of five figures in physical galleries.
By offering free digital versions directly through the Robinhood Wallet app, Notable.art and Robinhood are striving to tear down the barriers that often prevent mainstream audiences from engaging with blue-chip art.
Notable CEO Zain Talyarkhan expressed enthusiasm about introducing fine art to a broader demographic. “We partner with leading visual artists to offer unique digital artworks complemented by 1-of-1 museum-quality prints, which are sold at accessible price points,” he said. “We are delighted to partner with Robinhood Wallet to expand our offerings to a broader audience.”
For his part, Slonem hinted that the collaboration represented an opportunity to fuse traditional creative pursuits and emerging technology. “The union between art and life — and now technology — extends my practice beyond the brush,” the artist remarked. “I’m looking forward to showing my work in a fresh context and engaging new audiences in a fun and spirited way.”
Johann Kerbrat, General Manager of Crypto at Robinhood, emphasized the company’s commitment to driving web3 adoption. “We believe our work is paramount in enabling the next generation of the internet,” Kerbrat said.
In addition to the NFTs themselves, Robinhood Wallet users who collect all four of Slonem’s generative art pieces will have the chance to purchase exclusive physical prints. Only 100 prints of each digital artwork will be available for $299 apiece.
With Slonem’s immense success selling paintings through top-tier galleries and auction houses, the Notable.art partnership represents a rare opportunity for everyday art lovers and Robinhood customers to own official works by an upper-echelon contemporary artist.
Between democratizing investing and now spearheading an initiative to make blue-chip art more accessible via NFT tech, Robinhood continues to explore new ways to open up financial systems to mainstream audiences. The exclusive Slonem drop kicks off today and will continue over the coming weeks with fresh generative sketches being airdropped to Robinhood Wallet holders every two weeks.
