Apply to participate in an Artist Roundtable and receive a $500 USDC grant to create and mint your art

Mint Fund is ramping up efforts in 2024 with new initiatives to support artists. Since beginning in 2021, Mint Fund has become a resource for artists from all over the world to onboard into crypto, receive funds to mint their works, and put their art onchain.

This year, we continue on.

Introducing Artist Roundtables

Our hope is to create spaces for artists to come together, discuss their work, and become part of a community of like-minded peers. In a space that moves at lightspeed, fostering connections among artists, sharing resources, and offering mutual support will be critical for establishing enduring relationships. We want to become a hub for these kinds of interactions in 2024 with the introduction of Artist Roundtables.

Each month, we will host two Artist Roundtables. To participate, artists can submit a short application with information about their practice and the work they are interested in creating. A curated selection of 10 artists will be invited to join each Roundtable. If selected, please come prepared to share a bit about your work, along with any questions you may have about releasing your project onchain.

How to Apply

At the beginning of the month, we’ll open applications at themint.fund/apply. Submit your application here before the deadline and let us know which session you are able to attend. We’re on the lookout to support artists who are undertaking ambitious projects and have new works that they would like to mint. Each session will include a range of artists working in a multitude of mediums from all over the world.

Once applications close, confirmation emails will be sent to selected artists to begin onboarding. If you’re not selected, you are welcome to apply again for an upcoming month.

Receiving a Mint Fund Grant

After each Artist Roundtable, we’ll send participating artists a $500 USDC grant to mint their work. The grant can be used towards the creation and minting of new work, on any chain or platform of an artist’s choosing.

Mint Fund will publish an editorial recap featuring all of the participating artists and works that were minted to bring more visibility to the projects.

Plus, the Mint Fund Partner Program and Future Initiatives

Along with the introduction of Artist Roundtables and Mint Fund grants, we will continue to accept applications for our Partner Program. If you are an organization, or an artist, creative, or curator looking to make a larger initiative or group show come to life, we encourage you to apply. Applications for the Partner Program are reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis.

Thank you to all who have made it possible for us to continue our Mint Fund efforts. We look forward to bringing even more artists into the fold in 2024 and beyond.
