We’ve partnered with Christie’s for a series of curated drops, and it all kicks off next week. The sale marks the first time a world-leading auction house has automatically settled bidding on the blockchain, and there are some incredible artists lined up for the event.
Elsewhere, we’re finding new ways to showcase the best up-and-coming talent on our platform, continuously working to improve site performance, and adding new user safety tools to protect the community.

Spotlight
Rielle Oase
“My name’s Rielle; I’m a narrative fashion photographer in LA. Coming from an awkward childhood of homeschooling, my interest lies in odd social interactions which I disguise under the drama of fashion. Especially in high fashion, I can feel a familiar disconnect between corporation and audience which reminds me of my own social awkwardness. This is what I highlight in my work – the oddity.”
Mariana Martins
“My name is Mariana Martins. I am a Brazilian American Artist who focuses on digital animation and illustration. I strive to make fun, eye-catching content that dazzles and inspires. I am very outgoing, and I find great joy in connecting with other artists in my community and around the world.”
Tayen Kim Streeter
“Human behavior and culture (which I define as the set of behaviors which a group utilizes to live out their core values) have always held my fascinations. Having learned late in life that I am Autistic, I have gained more freedom to explore my studies of people and our nuanced, micro-moments. However those studies have been at the center of my work since I began drawing at the age of 2.”
New projects
Edition365
In July, ART3.io asked the NFT community to submit work that reflected life during the pandemic for a curated New Art City display. Well, the gallery is ready, and you can browse it ahead of the OpenSea sale on November 30th. The collection is under construction, but you can view the early mints here.
Edifice by Ben Kovach
Art Blocks leads the way when it comes to consistent, intriguing, mind-bending generative art drops, and Edifice by Ben Kovach is the latest to capture NFT land’s full attention. If you weren’t able to grab one on mint, the secondary market is in full swing.
