Crust Nation, Rare Vibes AVClub and iBoatNYC Ignite NFT.NYC Week
NFT.NYC took to the water last weekend in collaboration with iBoatNYC, and well, it rocked. In partnership with Rare Vibes AV Club and Crust Nation for 2022 NFT.NYC Week, the yacht festivities included art, music and, of course, technology.
This marks the NFT.NYC debut of Rare Vibes AVClub, a community-led initiative created by a team of experienced Web3 and blockchain professionals with the main goal of offering industry-leading networking opportunities and advanced social experience
Last year, they took over Miami Art Basel Week with Tier 1 performances from Major Lazer, Shepard Fairey, BASSJACKERS and others. This year, in Miami, the community had a star-studded DJ series by Diplo, BASSJACKERSM ATRAK and Gianni Blu, as well as live NFT auctions and screenings from industry-leading artists during the event.
The community was determined to surpass their previous efforts in the city that never sleeps last week, which was no small task. Rare Vibes spans two important dates for NFT.NYC week – Thursday 23 June and Friday 24. June – Mega Star DJs DON DIABLO and BLOND: ISH presented, as well as a panel discussion that gave participants the opportunity to gain unique insight and access to the hottest crypto possibilities. BLONDE: ISH is the Canadian producer and social media phenomenon also known as Vivie-ann BakosIn. DonDiablo is a musician / artist whose latest NFT project sold for $ 1.2 million through Sotheby’s in December last year.
Concert producer Crust Nation organized the event in collaboration with iBoatNYC, the leading party and tour yacht operator in the Big Apple. In 2019, Crust Nation expanded its entertainment programming to include iBoatNYC, with 50 concerts created in exclusive collaboration with Hornblower Cruises & Events. iBoatNYC is now the largest concert destination in several genres on Manhattan’s waters with over 90 events planned for 2022 alone. It is known for combining A-list talent, nightlife energy and a holiday-like atmosphere that reflects NYC’s culture, making it an obvious choice for NFT.NYC events.
Key participants this year include executives from Pantera Capital, Jump Trading, Metamask, Seratonin, NFT.com, Upstream and others. Partner brands included Rare Vibes AVClub, DJ Lovers Club, Gummy Bear Vandals creator WhISBe, Meta Circus and Crypto Assemblage. Sponsors were DAW, Crypto Tech Women, Token Society, Gay Aliens, Metawizard, Games Pad and partner brands Glam Jam and NFT Goddesses.
With blockchain technologies such as NFTs, cryptocurrencies and DAOs continuing to attract the interest of both creators and consumers, Crust Nation is planning even more exciting events for next year’s NFT conference.
