Crypto and Web3 entrepreneur Cordell Broadus announced today the launch of Champ Medici Art Fund, a million-dollar charity initiative in partnership with the Tezos Foundation to support emerging artists worldwide seeking to establish and create works on the Tezos blockchain. Rush Philanthropic Art Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by visual artist Danny Simmons, music mogul Russell Simmons, and legendary hip-hop group Run-DMC's Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, became the first institution funded by the Champ Medici Art Fund, which will launch new works on the Tezos blockchain.
As a well-known entrepreneur and musician, Cordell, the son of Snoop Dogg, is widely known throughout the metaverse for his Bored Ape NFT work - Champ Medici. Over the years, he has been recognized for advocating for Crypto and Web3 in the early stages, becoming one of the most influential figures at the forefront of the industry, and he himself is also an art enthusiast.
"I am pleased to announce a collaboration with the Tezos Foundation, which will attract new artists to Tezos, one of the world's most advanced artist-friendly blockchains. Since the early stages of blockchain technology, I have been an advocate and believe it will continue to evolve. My mission has always been to support emerging artists and provide them with opportunities for innovative artistic expression, especially for niche audiences. Therefore, I founded the Champ Medici Art Fund and hope it will provide assistance to artists who want to acquire technology or establish collaborations within the Tezos ecosystem," said Cordell Broadus.
Tezos has a great advantage in energy efficiency and has become the preferred blockchain for artists and organizations who want to mint NFTs in a sustainable and responsible way, receiving widespread acclaim. The Champ Medici Art Fund will provide funding support for emerging artists and provide early guidance for the Tezos community. The community is a diverse global community composed of artists, collectors, and creators who are committed to exploring more functions of NFTs as a medium for creative expression.
Tezos Foundation's Chief Business Officer, Mason Edwards, added: "There are many outstanding artists in the Tezos ecosystem who are constantly pushing the boundaries of digital art. I am honored that Champ Medici has chosen Tezos and I am also very excited to join this thriving creative community. Rush Arts will be the first funded project of the foundation. I hope this will allow emerging artists from different backgrounds to start their Web3 journey."
The Tezos Foundation is a non-profit organization that deploys resources to support entities and projects within the Tezos ecosystem. Recently, in order to provide support to artists around the world, the Tezos Foundation has established the Tezos Foundation Permanent Art Collection. This is a $1.2 million project planned by Misan Harriman, the chairman, activist, and advisor of the South Bank Center in London. Furthermore, Serpentine Galleries has recently announced a long-term partnership with the Tezos Foundation.
Global technology innovation and media company Gushcloud International facilitated the collaboration between Tezos and Champ Medici.
Gushcloud represents and manages the business interests of Champ Medici, while TZ APAC is a leading blockchain adoption entity supporting the Tezos ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region. Recently, Gushcloud has been a forefront leader in the Web3 space, collaborating with numerous celebrities and traditional brands to help them successfully enter Web3. Althea Lim, co-founder and CEO of Gushcloud International, and Katherine Ng, general manager of TZ APAC, will also join the leadership team of the fund's committee.
Chairman of the Board of Rush Arts, visual artist and writer Danny Simmons, said: "Rush Arts has gone through 30 years of development, and we are excited to enter the next stage, allowing our artists to use NFTs for creation. At the same time, this will provide a new way of artistic creation for niche groups who often only have access to the latest technology at the end."
Simmons added: "Through collaboration with Champ Medici and its fund, as well as the Tezos ecosystem, we plan to embrace talented emerging black artists and guide them on how to leverage Web3 to develop their careers."
Rush Charitable Arts Foundation was established in New York City in 1995, dedicated to providing exhibition opportunities for emerging minority artists and giving young people in the city more access to art. Rush Arts is a venue for young artists to showcase their work, such as Simone Leigh, Wangechi Mutu, Kehinde Wiley, Mickalene Thomas, Sanford Biggers, Allison Janae Hamilton, and many other leading artists in the contemporary art field.
Champ Medici Art Fund will hold an exclusive VIP event at the Miami Beach Art Fair on December 3, 2022 to honor the outstanding contributions of Danny Simmons and the Rush Charitable Art Foundation to emerging black artists and niche art communities over the past thirty years.
Champ Medici Art Fund will officially launch on January 2, 2023. The fund will begin accepting applications on December 5, 2022.
