ARKPIA is a creative brand that gives new artistic value to the works of prominent artists by incorporating their touch, view, story, and philosophy into digital art. Minting of H.E.A.C NFT commences on July 19 at 1pm (UTC), starting with the Allowlist participants while the presale mint will start on July 21st at 1pm (UTC). Ultimately, the public sale, which would allow 4,000 mints, is scheduled to go live on July 22 at 1pm (UTC).

Every artist has their preferred medium to create a masterpiece, and the platforms where they can share them have constantly been evolving over the years. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter were the first to build the bridge connecting artists and supporters worldwide.

In today’s time, Web3 further supports the growth of artists by providing them a technological advantage in showcasing their talents with new and exciting opportunities in the non-fungible token (NFT) world. One of the developing projects has already begun with the goal of onboarding artists to the world of NFTS—ARKPIA.
