Selection Period
Update: November 2022

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the delay in announcing the Selected Creators!

If you have any questions at all please feel free to email artworks@talenthouse.com - thanks!
Calling all creatives in the fight against Climate Change! Join Talenthouse and Arts Help on a mission to create a healthier planet and inspire people to take action.

Arts Help is partnering with Talenthouse to distribute over $3.5 million dollars in grants to artists and activists worldwide to create educational, powerful, and inspiring creative works exploring the relationship between Climate Change and Blockchain Technology. With the launch of the Conscious Crypto Creator movement, Arts Help hopes to educate people on the benefits and impacts of Blockchain Technology on the planet.

Artists and creatives of all mediums and disciplines are invited to apply! Selected Creators will be chosen by Arts Help to move forward with the grant application process until funds run out. (Don’t sleep on this!)

The goal of these creative projects should be to educate, raise awareness, and effect change. Your final, completed work may be featured on official Arts Help and Conscious Crypto Creator channels and should educate the public on Climate Change Action in the realm of Blockchain—creating something both educational and impactful enough to inspire the viewer to take action.
