CRYSTAL ROSE PIERCE LET THERE BE LIGHT
When you walk the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan you’ll find a historical building with a modern tech twist. The Lighthouse NFT Digital Art Space is launching immediately following Art Basel with a star-studded collection. The grand opening will feature artists with NFT collections from Christie’s and Sotheby’s displaying their works live along with pop and social media icons Alec Monopoly, Logan Paul, and Euro famous digital artist Marcel van Luit, among others.
Lighthouse has partnered with WHIM to provide a first look at the next generation digital canvases. Soon, collectors of NFT art will be able to walk away with a physical piece they can hang to display their digital works. These canvases are not yet on the public market, so this is a showroom of the future and the opportunity to be a part of the genesis collection.
“I want to shine the light from the heart of Puerto Rico. Lighthouse is a beacon for people who love creativity, crypto and community.” -Crystal Rose Pierce, Founder, SmART Gallery Puerto Rico experienced the longest blackout in US history following a devastating hurricane, so it’s appropriate the launch event of this NFT gallery is dubbed “Let there Be Light”. The lights turn on December 8th, 2021.
The digital art gallery concept goes beyond what’s hanging on the walls. Lighthouse NFT Digital Art Space has a second level lounge and workspace, operating as a coworking space for local artists to create and learn. It also features a cafe serving artesian local coffee and farm to table fares. It is the only place in Puerto Rico where you can get a kombucha on tap.
“Traditional art galleries operate more like museums. Visitors are afraid to touch anything or relax. Collections hang for weeks or months, whereas digital art can be Let there be light 2 dynamic and show for moments. We are expanding the possibilities and evolving with the future. We want our visitors to come often and for artists to become a part of the organic culture.”
