???? At the Edge of NFT.NYC: Where Art, Music, and Fun Collides
We gotta say: the fourth iconic installment of?A Web3 Music Vibe?was one of the best parties we’ve been to! It was held at?Penthouse Recording Studio?in Times Square and is hosted by?Dot Connector?and?Glass Protocol. The guest list was pretty impressive, with artists, creators, music executives, and futurists all in attendance.
One definite highlight was being able to mint a commemorative piece from?DJ SMURFOUDIRTY. Big thanks to everyone that made this night one of the ones we’ll remember!
… And what a way to wrap up NFT.NYC! The?NEAR Foundation?was at?Selina Chelsea?for?The Fashion DAO's brunch that brought together creators, experts, and the curious for a fun-filled day! It was conveniently located just a few minutes away from NYC's biggest Web3 conference. As a community, we strongly believe in a decentralized power system that is fair and collaborative.
The atmosphere was lively, and the fashion was on point and the rooftop bar provided the perfect setting to soak up some sun and unwind after a busy week. This was the perfect way to end the conference: good company, good vibes, and good weather!
