The Otter Gallery, aka TOG, adventure started in 2018 as an innovative and modern photography exhibition project. The concept has been inspired by travels and art experiences across the Wynwood Art Walls in Miami, the murals of Williamsburg in Brooklyn New York, Street-art from Chicago and Shoreditch London. We eventually found our purpose in supporting emerging artists in search to kick start their careers.
Officially operating in the form of an association, TOG began its existence as a curator of artistic experiences catering for all the human senses and fostering artistic collaborations to support debuting artists. TOG organized its exhibitions into seasons, where the first year into business was Season 1 (2019), the following year has been Season 2 being…… 2020!
Today, and following a creative pandemic break our concerns have shifted, our initial concept required a comprehensive revamp and we have decided to embrace the digital turn sooner than expected. For our new digital turn we also decided to rely on the power and the strength of a like minded community. As such, reaching out for support through crowdfunding is an integral part of our financial model
We found our new digital purpose in supporting emerging artists with blockchain solutions. We strive to empower debuting and emerging artists to build, develop and maintain a sustainable digital or hybrid career.
Our otters are building a framework and a community where artists can (learn how to) use the technology and empower themselves, as entrepreneurs, to build and lead their own careers.
we are thrilled to build the art industry of the future together with you!
Otterly yours,
Andras Lacko
