Artano is a digital art marketplace I connected with early on in my NFT journey, and I was brought on early in its development. With them, I aided in curating the marketplace and helping new artists. Unfortunately the marketplace lost funding in the 2022 crypto crash, however the experience was very beneficial, allowing me to meet new artist and contribute to a creative community.
