Nyan Cat. As the market for NFT artworks explodes, the majority of the artists benefitting from the sudden boom are men reflecting both the longstanding dominance of male artists in the international art market and the lack of gender diversity in the technology field.
“The NFT world is currently flooded with white men,” artist Michele Pred told Artnet News. “I want to change that.”
In an effort to reverse the trend, Pred, along with artists Bud Snow and Wildcat Ebony Brown are marking International Women’s Day by launching their first NFT art sale. The trio of feminist artists want to ensure that women aren’t missing out on the chance to break into this emerging art and technology marketplace.
