In the 70s, a French wine businessman organized a wine tasting competition in France (considered the worldā€™s best wine producer), resulting in a shock to the wine world. A Californian wine rated best in each category, defeating French wines for the first time in history. The intriguing thing is it was a blind taste made by French judges. My dad loves this story and constantly talks about it (read more about it here).

The Blind Gallery is an NFT experience coming to the Tezos blockchain

Recently, I remembered this story after talking with my dad, and I thought this setup made perfect sense for the current NFT art situation. A gallery where you could collect the pieces of art you love without the effects of names, hype, followers, exposure, etc., could be a fantastic experience to highlight and bring NFT art forward.

With that note, I would like to share an exciting new project Iā€™ve been working on with exceptional NFT artists. It is called the Blind Gallery.

How does the Blind Gallery work?

Iā€™ll be showcasing all the NFTs over the next couple of weeks, including the artworkā€™s inspiration, story, and tools used to create them. After that, we will open the Mint Pass sales on the Blind Gallery website on the Tezos blockchain.

You can exchange a mint pass for your favorite NFT during the Exchange Period. In the end, once the Exchange Period is over, the artistsā€™ identities will be revealed.

About the artists and the NFTs

I couldnā€™t be more stoked about the talent and diversity of styles participating in this event. Some of the best traditional, generative, and pfp creators submitted special NFT for this gallery.

They have been trying to find the muse using the blind concept. The following prompts: ā€œunknown, anon, mystery, secret, classified, confidentialā€ were given as inspiration options. Also, many of them decided to use the occasion to try something different so that the guessing game wouldnā€™t be that easy.

Iā€™ll be sharing hints and the artwork throughout my Twitter account and the Blind Gallery Discord during the next couple of weeks, so stay tunedā€¦

Hint 1: Almost all of the participating artists have been featured in my newsletter šŸ‘€

How many NFT editions will there be?

The final amount of editions per NFT will depend on the collectorā€™s selection. Depending on the exchange process, some NFTs with a low amount of editions while others might have a high number.

When is the Mint Pass sales date?

The sale will happen in June, followed up by the exchange period. Iā€™ll announce the exact dates over the next few weeks.

What happens after the exchange period?

All the pieces will be available on an objkt.com collection. You can trade them there if you would like to.

After exchanging your mint pass, you will receive a Minting Certificate. This certificate NFT is proof that you participated in the event and will grant you benefits on upcoming Blind Gallery editions.

More questions?

Check out the Blind Gallery website, the Frequent Asked Questions at the bottom, or send me a message on Twitter.

I canā€™t wait to reveal all the NFTs and the artists behind them!

Until next time,

PD: I just took a snapshot on May 13th 2022, and all newsletter premium subscribers will get one mint pass airdropped. Iā€™ll follow up with instructions on how to receive your airdrop in an upcoming email and through Discord.
