Aptos Foundation Launches Artist Grant Program

The Artist Grants Program intends to attract top-tier talent to Web3, reward artists for creating new art on Aptos, and create a thriving community of creators. Aptos recognizes the immense potential of blockchain and Web3 technology, and AGP is just one of the many initiatives the foundation has taken to support and empower creators in this space. [...] Aptos Foundation is proud to contribute to a dynamic balance of evolution and support with our new $20M Artist Grants Program (AGP). The initiative will build on the $3M resources already delivered to artists looking to utilize blockchain and Web3 to scale. ## How it works AGP is a rolling grants program reinvented to support artists and creatives of all mediums. The program will launch on the Aptos Foundation website, where artists can fill out a form to register their interest. [...] Other grant programs in Web3 bring artists and creators into a rigid, well-established system created with little or no input during development. Aptos Foundation is purposefully bringing in artists and creators early to help shape the values and diversity of the AGP community. Additionally, artists and creators selected to receive grants also have the ability to directly work with the Aptos Foundation to build out new programs to best support creators.
