Miami Marine Stadium NFT Preservation Initiative
Call for digital artists to create NFT collections inspired by iconic waterfront venue, with proceeds supporting restoration efforts
The Friends of Miami Marine Stadium preservation group has partnered with Blockchain.art to launch an innovative fundraising program combining digital art with historic preservation. They seek 10 artists to create unique NFT collections inspired by the Stadium's distinctive Modernist architecture and cultural legacy. Each selected artist will be commissioned to produce a series of 100-500 unique NFTs, with 60% of primary and secondary sales supporting the venue's $45 million restoration campaign. Artists receive 30% of sales plus a $5,000 creation stipend. The program aims to engage new audiences while documenting the structure's architectural and cultural significance through digital art. Collections may incorporate archival materials, architectural elements, performance histories, or environmental themes. Technical support for smart contract development and minting will be provided. Artists should demonstrate experience with generative art or NFT creation, though prior blockchain experience is not required. The initiative includes a physical exhibition of selected artworks at the Stadium site and a virtual gallery space.
