Through their community support and development efforts, Tezos has made a tremendous impression on the digital art ecosystem, becoming a go-to blockchain for artists and institutions. With the help of strategic partnerships, community-driven events, and accessible platforms, Tezos is helping to democratize creative expression and accessibility in the NFT landscape. Its cost-effectiveness incentivizes both household names and up-and-coming artists to make the switch. Creative technologies build on its remarkably advanced place in the worldwide digital art ecosystem.

Tezos’ presence in the art world has exploded over the last few years. The blockchain’s architecture makes for low transaction fees, typically a few cents or lower. This affordability makes it particularly attractive for creating and trading digital art. This affordability has made it an attractive home to a wide variety of artists. They can print massive runs or work on dynamic/interactive projects without running up prohibitive expenses.

Especially, the Tezos Foundation has worked to foster relationships with major players in the art world. One of the more unusual partnerships took place in the summer of 2024 when the Foundation struck an unusual collaboration with New York’s Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI). This project gave museum attendees the opportunity to adopt free NFT “fragments” of digital art displayed on the lobby screen. In doing so, it managed to bridge the gap between traditional art institutions and the burgeoning digital art scene.

During Miami Art Week 2024, Tezos community groups and sponsors organized six days of programming across five venues in Miami’s vibrant art district. This large, united front put on display the increasing interest and investment in Tezos as a go-to platform for digital art.

To further boost its attraction, Tezos has kept going with the launch of artist-friendly tools. In addition, InfiniteInk, a Tezos platform that launched in March 2025, acts as releasepad for release contracts. This platform empowers creators to deploy custom NFT smart contracts on Tezos, even without extensive coding knowledge, democratizing access to blockchain technology for artists of all backgrounds.

In conclusion, InfiniteInk’s influence is already being felt—and, in many cases, fully embraced—by the Tezos art community. Electronic musician Agoria collaborated with the platform to release a generative audio-visual NFT collection. One iteration of this project sold an astonishing 8,500 XTZ. This is not only the largest Tezos NFT sale in the music category, but represents the growing potential of the Tezos platform for high-value art transactions.

Objkt.com, the largest Tezos marketplace, exhibited Tezos’ reach on a global scale. Their resulting selection made for a stunning booth at Paris Photo 2024. The International Digital Art booth highlighted the work of digital artist Lorna Mills. Most of all, it showcased the rich and multifaceted artistic expression that is flourishing within the Tezos ecosystem.

The Tezos Foundation continues to expand its outreach efforts through initiatives like the "Paintboxed: Tezos World Tour," a collaboration with the Art Meta group. On this tour, you’ll help with planning workshops and a culminating exhibition at Art Basel 2025. It provides artists with important educational experiences and allows them to engage with a larger community.

Created by the same developer as Hic et Nunc, Objkt.com has quickly become the biggest player in the Tezos NFT ecosystem. Just a year later, by the first quarter of 2025, the platform had a hold on almost 40% of the market share. It had nearly 2,800 active users per week. These numbers underscore the platform’s immense popularity and the increasing activity in the Tezos-based digital art community.
