ATX DAO x Avalanche Artist Residency
Descending from the Avalanche Foundation's Avaissance initiative, the residency selected 22 local artists through an open call, ran two in-person workshops at dadaLab, and supported the creation of NFTs on Avalanche — across painting, mural art, photography, videography, AI art, and music — culminating in a metaverse gallery (spatial.io) and an immersive art and live-music celebration.
