LaunchLeft strives to help emerging artists have a space to share their art. NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are a new and exciting way for artists to potentially thrive through their art. LaunchLeft is thrilled to discover with our audience some of the ways artists can do just that through maintaining royalties which has the potential to lead to generational wealth in their families. 

Communities of NFT artists are helping fellow artists discover how to use the digital space to share their art. Tune in to this episode of LaunchLeft as we learn more about NFTs and how they can help support established and emerging artists.
