Big News - YAF (Young Art Fair) x Blockchain Hive – A Match Made in Creative Heaven!
Hey Hive Community! We’re YAF (Young Art Fair) – or as our Polish fam calls us, Targi Młodej Sztuki (TMS) – and we’re absolutely thrilled to introduce ourselves as the newest kid on the blockchain… with a paintbrush in hand!
Who Are We? Since bursting onto the Polish art scene in September 2023, YAF/TMS has been on a mission to democratize art and give emerging creators the spotlight they deserve. No stuffy galleries, no gatekeepers – just raw talent, vibrant energy, and a community that lives for creativity. Think of us as the “DIY revolution” of the art world, where artists and art lovers collide in a full rainbow of colors, ideas, and positive vibes.
Our Journey So Far In just two years, we’ve grown from a scrappy Kraków-based experiment to a Poland-wide phenomenon. Here’s the scoop:
2023: Launched with 2 one-day events (and a lot of coffee).
2024: Scaled to 9 two-day editions in Kraków, Wrocław, and Katowice, supporting over 300 artists.
**2025: Ready to go bigger, bolder, and… blockchainer? **(Forgive us but we are learning new lingo, but we already love Hive)
We’re over-the-moon to announce our FIRST-EVER SPONSORSHIP with Blockchain Hive – a partnership that’s all about innovation, transparency, and empowering creators.
Why this collab rocks:
🐝 Hive’s decentralized spirit aligns with our DNA – we’re both about tearing down barriers and building communities.
💡 New possibilities for artists: Blockchain Hive’s technology opens doors for secure, transparent, and innovative ways to support artists and their work.
🌍 Global reach: With Hive’s support, we’re one step closer to take art worldwide for anyone and anywhere .
🔮 What’s Next? 2025 is about to be YAF’s glow-up year, and with Blockchain Hive in our corner, we’re aiming for:
New major cities: Katowice, Łódź, Szczecin, Poznań – we’re coming for more.
Mixed events: Adding even more value to our fairs with workshops, exhibitions, and discussion panels alongside the main program. It’s not just a fair – it’s a full-on creative experience!
Our mission on blockchain is not only being present but also making full use of it, taking advantage of its full use cases, applications, and bringing this into our community, expanding through, within, and outside blockchain.
Artist empowerment: Grants in the form of free stands for artists chosen by YAF visitors. Interviews with the most active artists to share their stories and inspire others. Educational tools to help creators thrive in a rapidly evolving creative landscape.
To the Hive community: Let’s bring art closer to people together! Follow us for updates, drop into our next event, or just share this post to spread the love - For that we also created the ! COMMUNITY ON HIVE - YAF - YOUNG ART FAIR
And to every artist, collector, or art-curious soul out there: YAF/TMS is space for you. Let’s paint the future – one brushstroke at a time.
