But if you, like me, are new to springs in England, you\u2019d want to keep a close watch on the weather forecast. In the last two weeks, I have seen snow, heavy rains, winds, warm sunny days, and everything in between. And I, fooled by the blooming daffodils and cherry blossoms, was this close to packing away my winter clothes. If you are lucky enough to have a warm, sunny day (unlike me), take your read outside. While I cannot promise you a great read, I guarantee some food for thought, something inspiring, or maybe even a pinch of hope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/nfts-driving-change-why-we-need-to-look-beyond-pfps-cartoon-jpegs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NFTs Driving Change<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014a monthly column (bi-monthly previously), where I highlight projects and creators using NFTs and other Web3 tools to create real-world impact. In this issue, I\u2019ll be introducing you to Dropspot, a curated NFT art and culture marketplace and their International Women\u2019s Day campaign celebrating female NFT creators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Meet_Dropspot_the_new_kid_on_the_block\"><b>Meet Dropspot, the new kid on the block<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dropspot is a new curated NFT art and culture marketplace based on the Cardano blockchain. The marketplace focuses on 1:1 NFTs and claims to let their artists have \u201cartistic sovereignty.\u201d In other words, the artists will have complete control over their work. In addition, Dropspot offers a creator launchpad to help creators mint and sell their NFTs globally. However, this feature is currently invite-only.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Laura Richardson, Co-owner, Director of Curation, Community &amp; Comms at Dropspot, the platform boasts a team with a wealth of experience. Richardson, for example, has over 20 years of experience in the creative industry. Her past clientele includes Soho House, Conde Nast, Google, and Facebook, to name a few.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe simply can no longer rest on the laurels of \u2018build it and they will come\u2019\u2014those days are over,\u201d Richardson told NFT Evening. \u201cPeople desire and deserve meaning and one of my greatest passions (and gifts) is creating narratives that have community at the core. Dropspot is the platform I use to bring togetherness back into our lives.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_99493\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99493\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99493\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Kika Nicolela NFT art of two womenin vibrant dresses\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-scaled.webp 800w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-683x1024.webp 683w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-37x56.webp 37w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-450x675.webp 450w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-1200x1800.webp 1200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-scaled.webp\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99493\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Kika Nicolela NFT art of two womenin vibrant dresses\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-scaled.webp 800w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-683x1024.webp 683w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-37x56.webp 37w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-450x675.webp 450w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/art-1200x1800.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-99493\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cDuality\u201d by Kika Nicolela<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"NFTLikeAQueen_is_spotlighting_female_NFT_creators\"><b>#NFTLikeAQueen is spotlighting female NFT creators<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In celebration of International Women\u2019s day, Dropspot launched the #NFTLikeAQueen campaign on March 8. Created in partnership with Genius X Accelerator program and Cardano Women, the campaign spotlights some of the leading as well as emerging female NFT creators from across the globe. Some of the participating artists include Kika Nicolela, Haze Long, Alice Labrouel, Tina Touli, Emily Carrig, and Anna Dora.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More importantly, all Dropspot commissions from the NFT sale will go to the Malala Fund. These funds will support young girls in developing countries to access higher education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI came from a traditional fine art background and was disillusioned by the elitism of the art world,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said Emily Carrig. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI found the NFT space to be refreshing because it encourages collaboration, community, and co-creation. My goal is to help other women and emerging creators enter the space and navigate the challenges that I went through.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Echoing this, Long added: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of my primary goals in this space is to make more connections with women and to uplift them. My art was discovered and made popular by women. I\u2019d like to return the favor.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"A_final_word\"><b>A final word<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With March being Women\u2019s History Month, it\u2019s common to have a host of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/top-15-web3-companies-in-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web3 companies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and projects launching various campaigns uplifting female-identifying NFT creators. In an ideal world, I\u2019d want Web3 to do much more to be inclusive\u2014not just have a day or month-long women-focused campaign and then move on to old habits. But since we don\u2019t live in an ideal world, I\u2019ll take the small wins for now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully, we\u2019ll see way more female artists and women-led companies like Dropsot in the near future. Moreover, we\u2019ll have more companies and projects doing more to make Web3 a diverse and inclusive space; not just during Women\u2019s History Month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-text__subscribe\">\n<div id=\"mlb2-5802138\" class=\"ml-form-embedContainer ml-subscribe-form ml-subscribe-form-5802138\">\n<div class=\"ml-form-align-center\">\n<div class=\"ml-form-embedWrapper embedForm\">\n<div class=\"ml-form-embedBody ml-form-embedBodyHorizontal row-form\">\n<div class=\"ml-form-embedContent\" style=\"\">\n<h4><span id=\"Join_Our_New_To_The_Moon_daily_Newsletter\">Join Our New &#8220;To The Moon&#8221; daily Newsletter<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Get our free, 5 minutes daily newsletter.
