SquiggleDAO to become the first DAO to ever donate an art piece to a Museum!
The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami is dedicated to promoting continuous experimentation in contemporary art, advancing new scholarship, and fostering the exchange of art and ideas both regionally and internationally. Since opening in 2014, it has organized nearly 100 exhibitions, launched 10 educational programs, supported more than 1,000 artists, and welcomed over 1 million visitors.
The DAO is proud of this achievement, having embarked on its museum initiative in 2023 with the goal of getting as many Squiggles as possible into museums. We will continue to pursue this initiative due to its importance, which includes:
Legacy and Recognition: The DAO may be recognized not only for its donation but also for pioneering in the art philanthropy space, fulfilling its goal of fostering cultural longevity for Chromie Squiggles and generative art. As the first DAO to donate an art piece to a museum, it cements a legacy in both the art community and museum history. By having traditional art institutions recognize Squiggles, it sends a message about their importance and cultural value, creating a snowball effect for future generations.
Cultural Influence: By donating art, the DAO demonstrates its commitment to cultural and artistic enrichment. It helps shape and diversify the museum's collection, influences curatorial strategies, and promotes the embrace of generative art.
Leading the DAO Space: The DAO sets a precedent, opening the door for other DAOs to contribute to the generative art space. These actions inspire other DAOs to follow suit and lead broader participation in the art world.
The ICA Miami is the fourth publicly announced museum to add a Squiggle to its permanent collection, and we’re excited for this number to continue growing!
Hope to see you all in Marfa for another surprise and to celebrate this achievement!
