A groundbreaking art collection, curated and owned by the people
A decentralised community that selects works of art to acquire for its public collection. Works will be fractionalised into NFTs, each representing a real share of ownership over the piece. These NFTs are then sold into the market and the funds raised through this and their ongoing trading will be used to acquire further works of art creating an evergreen and evergrowing collection
Our mission is simple, and our implementation is revolutionary
-
The Movement will continually buy works of art to reflect the ever changing taste of the community
Through the creation of a transparent and accountable Foundation we will facilitate the purchase and custodianship of the physical pieces of art. Never to be stored away in dark storage units or hidden on the walls of the privileged few.
-
We have reached a point where Collecting fine art is no longer financially viable for the majority of the public
PARTICIPATION: Historically art collecting has been reserved for the wealthy. Fractionalisation enables the continued participation of the people in works of art that have risen to prominence.
LIQUIDITY: Through fractionalisation we can lower the barriers to entry to access and own such works, that would otherwise only change hands every few decades. Thereby increasing the frequency of trade and liquidity for works
TRANSPARENCY: On the public ledger, trades and price of works of art will be visible for all to see. Accessible to everyone irrespective of their personal access to art in the traditional market
-
The DAO members will have the unique opportunity to actively participate at the very heart of what will become one of the world’s most meaningful collections.
VOTE: Curate the collection and drive the vision of the DAO
BUILD: Become part of the team and actively contribute
DISCUSS: Concepts behind the art, the art itself and trades
BENEFIT: Gain access to exclusive airdrops & NFT releases
-
We want to strip away the veil, and make both worlds more accessible than ever before
APP LAUNCH: Intuitive, yet rich in its features, the PatronageDAO app is designed so that anyone without prior knowledge of either domain can start their journey of discovery
EDUCATION: A place where experts from their respective fields can break down concepts, ideas, movements, and philosophies in an inclusive and non judgemental environment
A system that is more inclusive, adaptive, transparent and reflective of its members’ tastes
Three key components make up the backbone of our revolutionary system
Art NFTs
For every work that is fractionalised by the DAO, a series of unique NFTs will be created and released; we call these artNFTs
artNFTs are a digital, on-chain representation of fractional ownership of a physical work of art
Each release is a unique series of digital artworks inspired by the underlying artwork - with potential colabs with artists across all mediums
Our artNFTs reflect a genuine use case as a mechanism to transparently and irrefutably highlight purchase, ownership/provenance and sale of a fraction of an artwork.
Owners of artNFTs also enjoy free access (where available) to whichever institution that underlying work of art is being displayed.
ptrn tokens
PTRN is The underlying token of our ecosystem launched on the Ethereum Blockchain, tradable on dex & cex platforms
Key elements include:
GOVERNANCE: All $PTRN Token Holders become members of PatronageDAO, or ‘Patrons’. Patrons can actively participate in PatronageDAO and importantly control the curation of the collection we are building. Patrons will be given the option to vote on key proposals presented by the DAO.
YIELD FARMING: Add liquidity to the $PTRN liquidity pools and receive a token yield
WHITELIST: Whitelist access for both our PTRN NFT drops and our artNFT drops
STAKING & AIRDROPS: Share in the success of PatronageDAO through royalties from NFT trades and other activities
ptrn nfts
Designed and created in collaboration with seminal artists, PTRN NFTs effectively operate as a special PatronageDAO membership card that unlocks a series of benefits
In addition to their intrinsic artistic value, each NFT represents an ownership over a block of $PTRN Tokens, and therefore owners of the PTRN NFTs enjoy the same benefits as $PTRN Hodlers
Key benefits include:
FREE ACCESS to all patronage dao exhibitions and exclusive irl global events
WHITELISTED for all future PTRN NFT special edition releases & for random future artNFT Airdrops for each work minted
PREFERRED access for members to a network of public museums & art fairs
