We've kicked off with our community-driven project **\"[Hands of Korp](https://pallet.exchange/collection/hands-of-korp),\"** which we launched as a free mint and we're currently gearing up to unveil our principal collection, the KorpDogs.\n\n# The Plan\n* If successfully funded, we will host in-real-life (IRL) events across the UK inspired by the model of [KorpFest](https://www.instagram.com/korpfest/). These events will feature spray artists who are also experienced in digital formats from around the world.\n* We will host digital art exhibitions with a focus on artwork minted on Sei.\n* Attract traditional artists by demonstrating the positive impact that NFTs can have on their careers. We aim to highlight the Sei ecosystem through workshops designed for artists of all ages. These workshops will cover career pathways in creating and marketing tokenized art.\n* Investigate the feasibility of developing course content that can be delivered to artist communities worldwide.\n\n# The How\n* We will utilise our existing relationships within the art world, educational institutions and digital communities to create workshops from day one.  \n* It is important that we aim to become as self-sufficient as possible, so we will use the funding to invest in equipment and materials that can be used time and time again.\n* Art created during events can be digitised and minted, with a percentage of sales going back to the project.\n\nOver the past four years Korp and Joff have already onboarded new artists into utilising NFT technology and are committed to continue this going forwards.  Funding through the Sei Creator Fund will enable us to implement our plans at an accelerated rate.\n\n# The Team\nThe core KorpDogs team comprises of:\n\n## Korp ([@korporate](https://www.x.com/korporate))\nA full-time UK artist known for his distinctive style across both digital and physical work, Korp employs multi-layered stencil techniques and marker pens to create utterly contemporary and frequently iconographic images.  Lately Korp is better recognised for his marker work which consists of an army of mutated worms.\n\nKorp was an early member of the global art movement known as Free Art Friday and in 2012 he featured on the BBC Culture Show alongside Fin DAC and My Dog Sighs. More recently you will find him painting at some of the many live street art festivals throughout Europe.\n\nIn March 2020, sparked by the global Coronavirus pandemic Korp founded the online [Korp Academy](https://www.korporate.co.uk/howtodraw.html) to teach people how easy it is to doodle. This creative experiment immediately took off and is now a thriving group of students of all ages and abilities.\n\nIn keeping with his street art background, Korp also brings live street art, graffiti and murals into the public realm, showcasing the work of not only Korp but also other artists from across the UK.\n\n\n## Joff ([@joffnft](https://www.x.com/joffnft))\nJoff has over a decade of experience organising meetups, workshops, and award-winning festivals in the UK. He's a strong advocate for digital communities and events.He discovered digital art in 2020 and has been rooted into the NFT community ever since, working as a moderator for multiple projects including Nifty Gateway and NFTUK.\n\nMore recently Joff has collaborated with the artist Metageist to organise “[Upon This Block](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saN24fzvyCk)”, a digital arts exhibition in the UK which in February 2024 showcased the first ever [NFT exhibition](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXai_vSvBtM) in the city of Peterborough’s 900-year-old cathedral.\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "korpdogsnft"}
