Today, we're thrilled to introduce Gallery Mementos, a new way for our community to participate, collect, and collaboratively build the future of Gallery.

We believe that curation is an act of creativity, and the pieces you collect are reflections of your thoughts, interests, feelings, connections, and dreams. We believe everyone has a unique perspective to share and deserves a beautiful space to share it.

We are on the relentless pursuit to create a new network: one where individuality is celebrated, creativity is valued, and authentic connections flourish on the internet — built openly on the blockchain.

Gallery Mementos is an actualization of that idea – we are memorializing collectible artifacts to commemorate milestones, visions, campaigns, and moments together.

The future is ours to build, and yours to collect.

What are Gallery Mementos?

Since the beginning, Gallery has been a pioneer in flipping the platform-user relationship on its head. From our very first membership card NFTs in 2020, to our community poster, to the many milestones we’ve celebrated together, we believe web3 offers a better way — a social platform where where users are partners and co-creators rather than opportunities to extract value.

Some may remember our first Allowlist Mint – The Next Era of Self Expression – which released in December 2022 to our most active and early adopters of our social features. This served as an early experiment for Gallery Mementos and inspired much of this initiative today.

Gallery Mementos are a living collection of treasures that will come to tell the story of the development of Gallery and its community. These collectibles are works of art first and foremost, and we hope our users are proud to earn and curate them.

Gallery mementos are memories. They’re moments in time. They’re objects of affection. They’re for you to look back on proudly. We hope in 10 years Gallery Mementos call back to a special time in internet history — and in your life.

We hope in the future the narratives and the art are eventually another canvas for you, the community, to paint on.

Presenting: Infinita Prospectus

To celebrate this launch, we're introducing a commemorative Gallery Memento: Infinita Prospectus. Infinita Prospectus, latin for Infinite Perspectives, is a collectible that celebrates the release of our multi-gallery feature, an evolution in the way users can express themselves on Gallery.

Here’s how to be eligible to mint:

• On February 23rd, a snapshot will be taken of all users with at least two galleries.

• You have from now until then to set up new galleries using our multi-gallery feature

• Minting will open February 23rd until March 2nd at 11:59pm ET. The mint is free and limited to one per holder.

• Users must designate their primary wallet in Gallery.so/settings to redeem their memento.

We’re so excited to see how people curate and express themselves. This is the first step in something we intend to continue to expand upon. Thank you for being along for the journey, we can't wait to see what comes next!

Stay tuned into our social channels for updates.

We'll be revealing the artwork behind Infinita Prospectus later this week.
