A heartfelt tribute to the legacy of Alotta Money from Trevor Jones | NFT CULTURE | NFT News | Web3 culture
The NFT community is coming together to celebrate the life and work of Alotta Money, the acclaimed French digital artist, and pay tribute to our friend, Trevor Jones, who has curated an unforgettable event to honor the memory of this legend. The 2023 Bitcoin Angel Castle Party, hosted at the enchanting Château de Vallery near Paris, France, will take place from September 3rd to 5th. Combining art, technology and philanthropy, this unique event is poised to make a significant impact by supporting Trevor’s fundraising goals.
In partnership with MakersPlace, Trevor has organized an exhibition and auction dedicated to showcasing the works of talented NFT artists and raising money for Maggie’s, a cancer charity. This heartfelt gesture in memory of Alotta Money, who tragically died of cancer on March 3, 2022. Alotta Money, also known as Philippe Fatoux, was a digital architect who captivated artists and collectors alike with his distinct and innovative NFT art.
How NFT artists can participate
To participate in this meaningful event, artists are invited to apply for the exhibition and auction. A panel consisting of Trevor Jones and MakersPlace representatives will select 24 artists, while the remaining six spots will be determined by a community vote. Selected artists will receive a brief description of the artwork guidelines for the event, with the expectation that their creations will in some way reference Alotta Money’s life or work.
This memorable event offers a unique opportunity to celebrate creativity while supporting a worthy cause. The NFT auction, hosted at MakersPlace, will run from September 1 to 10, 2023. Castle Party 2023 attendees will have the chance to see these exceptional NFT works of art in person.
Trevor Jones, an MA Fine Art graduate from Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art, has been at the forefront of art and technology collaboration for over a decade. His involvement in this event pays tribute to his creative partnership with Alotta Money, which began with their collaboration on the “EthGirl” NFT in December 2019. Trevor’s dedication to preserving Alotta Money’s legacy is a testament to their shared passion for the creative possibilities of the NFT space.
The funds raised through this event will be donated to Maggie’s, a charity that provides professional, practical and emotional support to people diagnosed with cancer. Their network of centers spans the UK and beyond and the proceeds from this auction will specifically benefit the Edinburgh Centre.
As we come together to honor the memory of Alotta Money and the tireless efforts of Trevor Jones, let us remember the transformative power of art and the potential for good that lies within the NFT community. This event will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on all who attend and contribute, and serve as a fitting tribute to the incredible legacy of Alotta Money.
