Artwrld NFT platform features artist Walid Raad’s new digital artwork benefitting ArteEast!

Check out Artnet’s article on the launch of Artwrld NFT platform featuring artist Walid Raad’s new digital artwork benefitting ArteEast!

“First up is a project by Artwrld’s third co-founder, artist Walid Raad. Called Festival of Gratitude, the project comprises a series of computer-generated birthday cakes for global dictators, sheikhs, presidents, and other 20th-century rulers. It’s set to be released in May, coinciding with Frieze New York, with a portion of the sale’s proceeds will go to ArteEast, a New York-based non-profit that supports Middle Eastern artists and arts organizations.”
