Erie Art Gallery is continually expanding the bridge between Art & Technology. With the help of NiftyKit EAG is experimenting with creating and selling NFTs and making the minting affordable and accessible. EAG will help Mint art each on the Polygon Blockchain. If you choose to sell it on our marketplace we will take a 30% commission. This is still a work in-progress and terms may change based on Blockchain we choose to use. Our hop is to make NFTs affordable to at risk artist in the Erie area.
