We spoke with Frank Smits, a veteran of the fashion industry who fell into the web3 rabbit hole. With Levina Li, an art consultant with expertise in the Asia-Pacific region, Frank co-founded The Meta Art Club. The Club is described as a priceless ecosystem for artists, collectors and communities, while also bridging the gap for fine art and artists in the NFT space.

The Club has collaborated with Vogue Singapore and most recently opened a space in The Uplift's new Ethereum-based world.
