Right Click Save and VerticalCrypto Art to Host Auction of Rare NFTs to Benefit ALS Association
On Tuesday, May 23rd, Right Click Save and VerticalCrypto Art will host the auction of ten unminted Chromie Squiggles by renowned generative artist and founder of Art Blocks, Erick Calderon (aka Snowfro). Proceeds from the auction will benefit The ALS Association.
Like Cure3, which raised $250,000 back in January from the sale of NFTs, the upcoming auction supports generative artists in fighting degenerative diseases. The ALS Association provides assistance for people with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), coordinating multidisciplinary care, fostering government partnerships, and enhancing quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure.
A collaboration with The Giving Block, “Snowfro’s Squiggles: The Auction” will be a ranked auction with the highest ten bidders winning the ten unminted Squiggles.
