The digital art community lost a talented member on March 3, 2022, when “Alotta Money” passed away after a battle with cancer. To honor his memory, MakersPlace and Trevor Jones will present a carefully curated collection of NFT artwork. They encourage references to “Alotta Money’s” life or work while retaining the freedom to interpret the cards.
“We are very excited about this partnership with MakersPlace and the pursuit of new artwork to honor our friend, ‘Alotta Money.'” Trevor Jones said. “We already supported Maggie’s last year, raising over £17,500 after our first Castle Party held at Stirling Castle. This is an issue that is very close not only to my heart, but to the heart of the entire NFT community.”
Artists of all levels can submit their artwork through a form to participate in the exhibition and auction. The final submission deadline for artwork is April 7, 2023. A team will then select 30 artists to participate. Trevor Jones will pick 24 of these. Furthermore, the work of the remaining applicants will be presented to the Trevor Jones art community. The community will vote on inclusion in the last six places.
“We are deeply privileged to be a part of this initiative and to partner with Trevor Jones not only to preserve the memory of ‘Alotta Money’ but also to raise money for a noble cause,” said Craig Palmer, CEO of MakersPlace. “We aim to elevate creators and their artwork by showcasing it through mediums that will live on through eternity like NFTs and blockchain technology.”
How to take part
All artwork submitted must be in NFT format and will be displayed on digital screens at the exhibition. However, if an artwork exists in physical form, the artist can exhibit the physical version and digital versions. Only NFTs compatible with MakersPlace can be part of the exhibition.
The castle festival starts on 3-5 September 2023, at Château de Vallery near Paris. Then, MakersPlace will hold the auction from September 1 to 10, 2023. In addition, artists will receive 50% of the proceeds. Maggie’s will receive the remaining 50%.
Guests are invited to join MakersPlace and Trevor Jones honors the work of “Alotta Money” while supporting charity. The event is an excellent opportunity for artists to showcase their work, promote their talent and raise money for a noble cause.
