What’s Going On?

In an exciting collaboration with Forbes Web3, Arts DAO Fest is rolling out the red carpet for artists worldwide, inviting them to showcase their visionary work on an international stage. This collaboration highlights an Open Call for digital artists, aiming to showcase 420 pieces of art from talented creators across the globe. The competition not only offers artists a unique opportunity to have their work displayed in Forbes Web3 magazine but also includes the chance for 10 winners to be announced from the main stage. These selected artists will gain the prestigious honor of being featured in Forbes Web3, the web3 arm of Forbes. Endemic, a renowned digital art marketplace, is proudly supporting the Open Call program, while Zenon, a premium venue in downtown Dubai, known for its unique art installations, will host the official VIP & Artist after-party.

Yuga Labs, the leading web3 lifestyle and media company and IP powerhouse, will unveil the latest demo of Dookey Dash Unclogged, offering attendees the chance to pre-register in their latest game, which offers a $1 million prize pool.

BMW will captivate attendees with a car designed by Jeff Koons, and the Museum of Sound — an NFT collection celebrating the iconic sounds of BMW's traditional engines as we transition to electric vehicles.

Linea, the zkEVM ecosystem that empowers web3 dapps to thrive, is poised to revolutionize art creation with a unique installation that makes neural brain waves interact with the artwork. This will allow anyone to mint artwork generated in real time on their blockchain, a pioneering step in the digital art scene.

Landvault is prepared to reveal the potential of the metaverse, providing a glimpse into the digital future. For a touch of levity, Pixelmon will feature Kevin, their beloved mascot who became a sensation through memes, adding a layer of humor and joy to the festival.
