An Exciting Event in the Dubai NFT Scene
Hey there, crypto fam! Today we’re going to talk about an upcoming event in the Dubai NFT scene, organized by an amazing couple.
VESA and Vernissage: A Shared Vision for Fine Art NFTs
Team VESA and Vernissage have formed a strong bond due to their shared vision for fine art NFTs and the growth of the market. VESA co-founder Lotta has even helped Vernissage in crafting their message, which you can see showcased here. We’ve been thrilled to witness Vernissage’s progress, and this article is our way of showing appreciation for their debut exhibit.
Richard and Tatiana Zalan: Pioneers in New Technologies
The founders of Vernissage, Richard and Tatiana Zalan, are no strangers to new technologies. Their interest in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies began back in 2016 when they hosted meetups for like-minded individuals. As passionate art enthusiasts, they were drawn to digital art that focused on high-quality craftsmanship rather than just utility and marketing.
They recognized blockchain as a means of protecting artists’ copyright and embracing the third age of the Internet.
The Birth of Vernissage
Vernissage’s origin story began when Richard and Tatiana encountered traveling artists who arrived at their doorstep with rolled-up canvases. They were amazed by these artists’ dedication to connecting with potential buyers, which inspired them to utilize technology in preserving the legacy of fine art in the Web3 era.
Thus, Vernissage was born—a platform that offers curated fine art in a fast-paced digital medium. What makes it unique is that it’s led by experienced individuals who are not in their twenties anymore. This unconventional approach was much needed in the art market.
V is for Vernissage: Supporting Emerging Artists
The name “Vernissage” perfectly captures the platform’s mission of providing an exclusive first viewing of artwork to support emerging artists. It evokes excitement, intimacy, tradition, and value.
Vernissage functions as both a marketplace and a social network, with a strong emphasis on community interaction and voting. Richard and Tatiana prioritize nurturing collector relationships to ensure the financial success of their artists. They also have a deep commitment to social consciousness, with plans to allocate resources for young artists’ education and personal development.
Dubai has been an ideal location for Vernissage due to the government’s support and relevant laws that position the city as a leader in the NFT sector.
Immersion Explosion on November 8th
