In a first, this collaboration will see OpenSea\u2019s homepage completely taken over by the FWB DAO, who will feature its slate of up-and-coming Web3 artists right on the site\u2019s front page. Before this instance, featured works on OpenSea\u2019s homepage had never been curated by a third party. Notably, an ex-employee of OpenSea exploited homepage curatorial privileges of Web3\u2019s biggest NFT marketplace in one of the highest-profile cases of insider trading in the NFT space.<\/p>\n<p>OpenSea\u2019s collaboration with FWB extends further than just these front-page privileges. In support of FWB\u2019s mission of guiding the future of Web3, OpenSea has allotted a $100,000 commissioning fund to be used by FWB\u2019s curatorial team to steward the creation of new art. These funds are set to be divvied up amongst \u201cartists from across the traditional art world and the NFT space, helping them bring new creative works to life,\u201d according to the press release.<\/p>\n<p>Given FWB\u2019s status as a DAO \u2014 which counts artists like Erykah Badu, Azealia Banks, and David Rudnick among its members \u2014 the collaboration with OpenSea was voted on for approval across the community, garnering 98% of the voting community\u2019s support in the process. The decentralized nature of the collection\u2019s curation sets a promising precedent for \u201chow exhibitions and collections are created and maintained in Web3.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Flock is also set to kick off FWB FEST \u2014 a Web3 conference and festival experience to be held at the Idyllwild Arts Academy in Idyllwild, California, from August 12 to August 14. Headlining the event\u2019s music festival are Pussy Riot, Oneohtrix Point Never, Weyes Blood, and more.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenSea is partnering with the Friends with Benefits (FWB) DAO to help steward the launch of The Flock \u2014 an \u201cimmersive gallery exhibition\u201d and \u201ccuratorial initiative\u201d, according to a press release shared with nft now.
