SMA Awareness NFT Art Gallery by EAMDA: My SMA Journey
August is SMA Awareness month! EAMDA is going to contribute and support people with SMA, through an innovative and exciting project: SMA Awareness NFT Art Gallery.
The aim of our project is to raise awareness about SMA and give SMA community a stronger voice, as well as to raise funds for SMA participants and for EAMDA projects.
What do you need to do to participate in our project?
Spread the word into your SMA community and encourage people to send us photos/scans/ videos of their unique works of art: drawings, paintings, collages, digital illustrations, creative videos, music or any other artistic pieces that represents their own SMA journey.
These art pieces we will transform into NFTs, defined as unique digital assets, will be exhibited online, as well as in a physical NFT Art Gallery, during August.
The participants’ works might reflect their hopes, frustrations or even expectations. They can also specify their needs and recommendations in order to access a better quality of life.
