Hello dear readers,
I am so happy to finally share this exciting news— HUG (acq. dotART) has been acquired by dotART Registry, the premier digital domain of the art world!
This new chapter will empower more creators than ever with unparalleled tools, technology, and opportunities online, onchain, and in the real world.
What this means for our community:
This acquisition marks a transformative milestone for the artists of HUG, who will now be joining .ART's network of creators, museums, and organizations which span over 400,000 domains and includes high-profile adopters such as Refik Anadol, XCOPY, LACMA, Bitforms Gallery, Apple, and more.
As a welcome gift, .ART is extending benefits to HUG's community:
Over the years, it's been incredible to see HUG grow from a handful of artists to a thriving global community of over 35,000 creators across 180 countries. The transition to .ART will build upon HUG's strong foundation, providing artists with even greater resources to enhance their creative careers.
Looking ahead together
As HUG hands the reins over to .ART, some of our services such as Open Calls and Artist Storefronts will take a brief hiatus while .ART integrates more comprehensive tools and resources onto our website. Until then, we encourage you to take advantage of all that .ART has to offer and get excited for bigger and better opportunities in 2025! ?
To ensure a seamless transition, my cofounder Debbie Soon will serve as an advisor to .ART, and part of our team will be staying on as .ART ambassadors to continue their work with the artists we have admired and advocated for over the years.

1 个月Hi, Dear Algorithm from Hugging Mother PR team Randy, I'm happy to announce that I sold all my contacts including those from HUG overnight at a low price. Your new data owner is looking forward to getting the cost back soon. He may get in touch with you if it could increase profits he said. I'm now signing off from HUG and 2x Zuckerberg disappointed. You never know when you'll be sold next. Randy, keep up the good work with other people's data. Shout out to brother Mark. You're both equally funny.?? What are data octopuses? Not selling pictures feels better too without internet chatter. August A. Translated by Google
