After an incredible journey, Exchange Art will officially cease operations on 08/01/26. The platform and its services will no longer be available after this date. Building Exchange Art and fostering an art community on Solana has been an honor and privilege, unfortunately we could not find a viable path forward as a company fiscally during this prolonged bear market for art on chain. Users are encouraged to access their accounts and retrieve any necessary information they may need prior to shutdown. All artworks and/or currencies currently held within Exchange Art sales & escrow contracts will be released by Exchange Art to the proper owners prior to the platform’s closure. All artwork is minted to the Solana blockchain and will be available to import on other marketplaces. No extra steps are needed from artists or collectors to ensure their artwork is secure and lasts on. We are deeply grateful to every artist, collector, curator, and supporter who helped shape what this platform is to its core. Exchange Art will officially shut down and be inaccessible on Saturday, August 1; 08/01/26.

We start SZN16 today. We are almost at the end of Epoch 1, with a goal of being fully decentralized by the end of 2026 (stretch goal, but it is our goal) Subscribing to a SZN is the easiest way to participate. You send ETH once, and the whole SZN will be airdropped to a wallet of your choosing. If you need help, @DarrenSRS can assist!

June 27th is PTSD Awareness Day, a day to "shift the narrative" and "fight the stigma" of this serious often silent disorder. Often our art calls and our work is seen as positive and uplifting but just because what we do is good, doesn't mean it's always sunshine and rainbows
