ART3 was launched in October 2021 by 1854, publisher of British Journal of Photography – the world’s oldest and most influential photography title – and host to the most viewed photographic exhibitions across the globe.
With a mission to educate, help photographers find their place in the NFT space, and enable collectors to embrace blue chip photographic art from the emerging artists of tomorrow, ART3 quickly established as a leading platform for NFT photography.
Our first drops represented dozens of talented photographers, many entering the space for the first time, and generated more than $200,000 in NFT sales, with some collections seeing early secondary activity.
ART3 became a completely independent company and collaborated with artists, collectors, institutions and WEB3 platforms who were seeking to expand the footprint of high quality photographic art in the NFT space.
Given the extended NFT winter, ART3’s founders have taken a break from WEB3 for the time being, but imagine we will be back when the market, collectors and artists demand it! In the mean time do get in touch with us below.

ART3 FOUNDERS
ART3 was founded by Marc Hartog, a media entrepreneur who sold his previous company to focus on the multitude of opportunities for artists and collectors that WEB3 & NFTs make possible.
He was joined in March 2022 by Libby Porteous, an artist & curator who has developed a profound understanding of blockchain and NFT technology. Libby is the ART3 lead for marketing, partnerships and collector relations.
