- The campaign will consist of four total NFT giveaways happening once every two weeks. Each will feature different exclusive artwork by Slonem.
Today Robinhood announced that Robinhood Wallet users can participate in a new NFT giveaway from Notable.art, the new fine-art-centric platform bridging digital and physical art. Robinhood Wallet users can now acquire exclusive digital sketches from renowned American artist, Hunt Slonem.
As one of the most celebrated colorists of his time, Slonem’s Neo-Expressionist style is widely renowned for a striking fauvist color palette often used to emphasize his lifelong fascination with animals and exotic locations. Since earning a place in the upper echelon of New York’s art scene in the 1970s, Slonem’s physical artworks, which individually cost tens of thousands of dollars or more, have been featured in more than 350 international exhibitions at prestigious galleries and cultural institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
For a limited time, Hunt Slonem’s NFTs will be accessible through the web3 tab in the Robinhood Wallet app on iOS. The digital assets will be minted on Notable, and delivered directly to users’ wallets.*
"Notable seeks to break down the relatively high barriers to entry in fine art collecting. We partner with leading visual artists to offer unique digital artworks complemented by 1-of-1 museum-quality prints, which are sold at accessible price points,” said Notable CEO Zain Talyarkhan. “We are delighted to partner with Robinhood Wallet to expand our offerings to a broader audience. We look forward to sharing the unique value of fine art with the Robinhood Wallet community."
The giveaway will consist of four total NFT mints on Feb. 27, March 12, March 26, and April 9. US participants who have collected all four pieces can purchase an exclusive, physical print of one of the four sketches. Quantities of the physical prints will be limited to 400 total prints–100 of each NFT. Prints will be available April 23 through May 6 or until they sell out (whichever comes first).
“For the last decade, Robinhood has been on a mission to increase access to the financial markets, and we see an opportunity to enact similar change in the world of web3, ” said Johann Kerbrat, Crypto General Manager at Robinhood. “With Robinhood Wallet, we are breaking down barriers and making it easier for people to access web3 and explore new projects or initiatives they might not have otherwise. We believe our work is paramount in enabling the next generation of the internet.”
“Art is a way to inspect our lives and think beyond our ordinary experiences,” said Hunt Slonem. “Through my work, I strive to capture not just the vividness of nature, but the essence that animates it. The union between art and life — and now technology — extends my practice beyond the brush. I'm looking forward to showing my work in a fresh context and engaging new audiences in a fun and spirited way."

Notable will cover the network fees associated with minting NFTs up to the first 10,000 giveaway participants; thereafter, giveaway participants will be responsible for any network fees associated with minting.
