what's The Line Gallery?

The Line Gallery is a dedicated physical tokenized art gallery based in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, recognized as the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Founded by cryptoartist MintFace, it serves as an IRL space for exhibiting digital and traditional art tokenized on blockchains such as Ethereum (ERC-721, ERC-1155) and Bitcoin Ordinals. The gallery hosts artist line-up series, solo shows, and features works across mediums like generative art, AI, glitch, painting, and sculpture, emphasizing blockchain provenance for ownership and legacy without traditional gatekeepers. It promotes themes of connection, anti-typecasting, and support for underdogs in cryptoart, providing physical display alongside on-chain permanence. Artists benefit from global exposure while the gallery fosters community through initiatives like shared vaults (e.g., ourline.eth) and collaborations with platforms like Foundation and Blackdove.

The Line Gallery launched a new exhibition with allowlist access available via direct message.
