Exciting news—HUG has been acquired by .ART Domains Registry, the premier digital domain of the art world!

This new chapter for HUG will empower more creators than ever with tools, technology, and opportunities online, onchain, and in the real world.

Here's how and why ⤵️
Looks like we can showcase more art than originally thought at Art Night at /farcon...

So on top of: @cardelucci @rebeccarose and @kaelivanfossen, we will also be adding the works of:

@quantumspirit
@dominosmusic
@liapsart
@aoifeodwyer

See you at Art Night!

Today, we are grateful to the 1500+ people that joined us for our first ever HUGFest.

We just got the videos and photos from our content crew, and we can’t wait to share!
Should we create a HUG channel? We will use it to…

- Share Open Calls
- Spotlight HUG artists
- Exchange virtual hugs (it’s like tipping with DEGEN but using hugs for a little pick me up instead)
