MetaGraff Gallery & Hall of Fame
gateway Web3 gallery for graffiti art to gather and generate sales
MetaGraff Gallery & Hall of Fame
MetaGraff Gallery & Hall of Fame is a virtual warehouse that users can ‘spray paint’ on the outside, and a functional virtual gallery that showcases and facilitates sales on the inside, hosted on the internet and utilising the Solana block chain. Learn, co-create, easily generate quality documentation and make sales all in one virtual-reality platform.
“It’s a live graffiti metaverse gallery that allows artists to create & collaborate on artworks, live-stream their vr paint sessions, records the process and outcomes as a downloadable documentation pack, and offers them a platform inside the same virtual space to showcase and sell their work. All hosted on the internet and facilitated on the Solana blockchain.”
- Jared Jestr. Artist & Founder.
Where do graffiti artists commune, collaborate, show-case and sell their art in web3? How do physical paint native writers and muralists have their work transcend into the digital world and ergonomically documented to be shared on social media? How are digital graffiti artworks adequately experienced, documented, published and collected? Where do aspiring artists learn about and experience graffiti in an authentic manner in web3?
A virtual graffiti ‘hall-of-fame’ that writers can paint from anywhere on planet via the internet. A paintable abandoned factory on the outside, and a gallery space that regularly curates shows and facilitates sales on the inside. All hosted via a URL, accessible on desktop and VR devices. The abandoned factory exterior is paintable and retains memory just like a real graffiti spot would. The inside is a high-end curated gallery that showcases graffiti and digital art. The showcased artworks in the gallery can be purchased directly from the experience, and the transaction facilitated on the Solana blockchain.

This will be the first virtual Hall of Fame, as nothing of it’s kind exists. VR painters can create their own artworks on the exterior of a functional gallery with other artists from all over the world, which will be seen by global audiences who can purchase their work direct from the virtual experience. It is totally unique to the internet.
MetaGraff will regularly curate exhibitions inside the gallery warehouse, which can facilitate sales directly from the virtual experience via the Solana block chain, and ensure artists are immediately paid when the works sell. Exhibitions will include solo shows of already established graffiti artists exploring the digital mediums, as well as young up-and-coming artists more native to digital media. Community group exhibitions of artists who paint the hall of fame regularly, as well as shows that push the boundaries of the art form.
All of this is broadcast and showcased to a vast international audience, not restricted by physical location and time, at a fraction of the cost of setting up physical exhibitions.
More over, this same platform will automatically create documentation of the artworks as they are created on the platform for users to further share on social media.
SO WHERE ARE WE IN DEVELOPMENT? DO WE HAVE A LAUNCH DATE?
As much work as it has taken us to get to this point, we still have a alot of work ahead of us to make this market ready. We are in our beta-testing stages, and soon we will have the painting functional as well as the gallery. Once we have the painting functional we'll assemble a beta-community: A small test-group of writers from different locations we can play-test, and develop further based on the experience and outcomes. This will take us to our final stage of open to the public.
