**An Ode to Art is the first of many campaigns we are rolling out for our project, The Fracture.**

This is an art focused campaign that intends to give a platform to artists who want to gain exposure. The trade off will be creation of artistic value for our holders.

Not only does this bring The Fracture to life in brilliantly creative ways, it also allows our holders to be exposed to some of the most culturally significant artists in our space.

**Why?**

The Gods have created one of the most connected, and engaged, communities on Solana. This bringing together of likeminded individuals came about initially via a shared interest in The Fracture’s art.

This is something we always wanted to lean into.

To do this, we are offering talented artists the chance to create material surrounding The Fracture’s lore. These pieces will be presented to our community in a range of ways, Airdrops, Whitelists and Auctions to start.

We aim for this campaign to be mutually beneficial for all parties involved. As the size of this project continues to snowball, we are offering artists new to this ecosystem an engaged, art focused audience, to present their work to.

Inversely, we are offering the chance to our holders to get exposure to upcoming talent via digital assets.

Recently, we collaborated with independent artist Nettare. This collaboration brought the original SOLgods avatar to life in a different, more colourful light.

This 111/111 collection was airdropped to SOLgods holders via a flash whitelist airdrop. What has been the most rewarding for ourselves, and Nettare, is to see the dialogue surrounding this airdrop focused on the appreciation of the art itself as opposed to its monetary value. This would suggest its intrinsic value is high for its current holders, which inadvertently, usually correlates to a higher monetary value.

This collaboration marked the start of our campaign.

Utopia is the next artist that has created work the ‘An Ode to Art’ campaign.

Utopia has created an incredibly detailed rendition of the infamous ‘Gods Temple’. The scale and depth to this piece is staggering, using an innovative colour palette to give a deep sense of emotion within the piece. Whilst capturing the ominous and overwhelming presence that the Gods have.

This piece will be available for auction. Details of the auction will be made available shortly.

**Closing Thoughts**

Part of the motivation to carry out this campaign came from our thesis of building community and culture in Solana. At its very core the space is about digital ownership. This is a brand new concept to those unfamiliar with our space.

With this move, we want to signify that as a member of our community we will be \_consistently\_ providing our holders with doorways to culturally significant digital ownership central to our community and brand.

To provide an analogy, Bear Brick has become globally recognised because of its ability to bring their brand to life in unique and innovative ways.

This model of bringing the core idea of a brand to life through different representations is tried and tested, and is something we intend to emulate.

A SOLgod is a token to gain exposure to our evolving brand. With a SOLgod token you will be rewarded continuously with digital assets that help bring a more nuanced vision of our brand to life.

This, combined with our mission to bring talent into the space, and introduce them to what we think is the most welcoming community on Solana. This bringing together has the potential to be very powerful.

A lot is planned for this year, and to kick things off we wanted to share something that is close to our hearts.

This is our Ode to Art.
