To help our community settle into our new home, HUG's cofounder @soondiggity will be stepping in as an advisor to .ART.

A portion of HUG's team will also be staying on as .ART ambassadors to continue their work with the artists we have admired and advocated for over the years.

HUG 🤗 Art, Artists, & Art Lovers @thehugxyz.bsky.social · Dec 12

As we hand the reins over, some of HUG's services will take a brief hiatus as .ART integrates more comprehensive tooling onto our website.

Until then, we encourage you to take advantage of all that .ART has to offer and get excited for bigger and better opportunities in 2025.

HUG 🤗 Art, Artists, & Art Lovers @thehugxyz.bsky.social · Dec 12

With HUG becoming part of the .ART family, we’re building on our shared commitment of supporting creators.

HUG Artists will now unlock access to .ART’s suite of services to showcase, protect, and monetize their work in addition to free and discounted welcome benefits.

HUG 🤗 Art, Artists, & Art Lovers @thehugxyz.bsky.social · Dec 12

This acquisition marks a significant milestone for the artists of HUG.

We will be joining .ART's network of creators, museums, and organizations which span over 400K+ domains & include high-profile adopters such as Refik Anadol, XCOPY, LACMA, Bitforms Gallery, Apple, and more.

1) Anybody can have an account to leave reviews & earn rewards

2) However… only artists can have public facing profiles attached to their account

3) …We’ll be rolling out public facing collector / curated profiles in the coming months!

One update at a time, just like Bluesky 😉

That’s amazing! Curation is what we do! Our community actually curates art galleries from Bali to Belgium. We have an exhibition in NYC right now 💜
