This exclusive partnership is certain to make waves in the premium sector of the  $24.7 billion dollar NFT market.

LiveArt is currently collaborating with international web2 and web3 artists for its LiveArt X Card membership drop that launches on 4th April 2023. Artists involved who will be coming to web3 for the first time include Chen Man, the leading artist and photographer who has shot covers for Vogue and GQ, Yue Minjun, the art market star whose work is in the collections of major museums including SFMoMA and the Denver Art Museum, and Mr. StarCity, whose work has sold for six figures at Christie's and Phillips.

Securing a LiveArt X Card grants special access to top artists, works from partners including iv gallery and Digital Nativ LA, as well as exclusive first access with future LiveArt partners that are yet to be announced. 

The LiveArt X Card is designed to protect art from short-term speculation by ensuring long-term value and accurate price models. With a total supply of 3,500, LiveArt has already reached over 12,000 people on the waiting list desperate to get their hands on one on 4th April.

"Supporting successful creators in the NFT space is not enough. Marketplaces can play a huge role in helping the web3 art market mature, bringing even more collectors into the space and driving mainstream adoption. LiveArt understands this completely and has the interests of artists in mind, as well as collectors, which is why we're so thrilled to partner with LiveArt," said Vince Harrison, owner of IV Gallery.
