The Journey by King of Midtown

The Journey

Introducing King of Midtown’s second Curated Collection on Nifty Gateway, featuring 6 artists new to the platform and rek0de’s return to NG with a collab series showcasing a piece of King’s own journey.

As a collector, King has personally admired and followed this hand selected lineup of artists. The diverse and distinct art styles, along with the vast international representation, capture the essence behind The Journey, a collection aimed to emphasize not necessarily the end product, but the process, experiences, and connections made along the way.

To further grow connections within the community, we celebrate today by hosting an IRL live drop event at The Crypt Gallery x Dream Hollywood. Join us at 3:00 pm PT as the digital marketplace comes to life.

This event is made possible through our partnership with ViGallery and sponsorship by Virse and 10KTF. Thank you for supporting us and believing in what we are building.
