Although we are still months away from being able to open an NFT art gallery in Upland's West Village, as is my aspiration, I don’t think it is too early to begin taking steps towards building a business plan to capitalize on the opportunity once opening NFT art galleries becomes a possibility in Upland. I think it’s best to be prepared to hit the ground running. The first step towards building a business plan for an NFT art gallery is to understand existing NFT art galleries within the metaverse. I think this an important first step because one can already see entities and projects opening art galleries across multiple metaverse worlds. The most commonly mentioned metaverse worlds I see in NFT art spaces include Cryptovoxels, Decentraland, Somnium Space, and Sandbox. In today’s post I’m simply going to provide a tour of some galleries in Cryptovoxels.
If you take a look at the map of Cryptovoxels galleries you’ll find there are currently 110 NFT art galleries:
If you are completely unfamiliar with Cryptovoxels you might start with this tour of some builds the artist Alotta Money shared with Josie on her Behind the Art podcast #2 (starting about the 56:00 mark). This will give you an idea of what is possible in the hands of a truly talented artist. (A Twitter banner NFT by Alotta Money can be yours for only 8 ETH.)
Ben Roy, who along with co-founder Claire Silver, is currently building Accelerate Art, a digital gallery and artist accelerator program in Cryptovoxels, recently gave a tour of some of the galleries in Cryptovoxels and so a nod to him for some of the ones listed below. I also encourage you to check out Ben and Claire’s white paper on Accelerate Art.

Not an art gallery but still an awesome build in Cryptovoxels is Ogar’s Coffee Shop. If you’re thinking of building a coffee shop/cafe art gallery this would be a I hope this tour inspires you in your own dreams as a digital artist, NFT collector, or aspiring NFT gallery owner in Upland or elsewhere in the metaverse.
