(GALLERY)

To our Gallery community: It’s been an incredible journey building and curating with all of you. Today, we’re sharing an update on the future of Gallery as we begin transitioning to our next phase. Gallery as a company is winding down and we want to ensure this transition respects the work you put into your curations. We want to be as transparent as possible about what this wind down looks like and how it affects your curated spaces. Here is the roadmap for the coming months: 30 Day Window: Final Edits From now until April 12th 2026, you can continue to make changes to your galleries. If you have final updates to make or want to reorganize your collections, please do so within this 30 day window.  Because the app has been in maintenance mode, you may encounter some bugs or performance issues during this time. We appreciate your patience here. Moving to Read Only Mode Once this 30 day period ends, Gallery will officially transition to Read Only Mode. At that point, you will no longer be able to add, delete, or edit anything within the app. Your galleries will remain viewable as a digital archive, allowing you to revisit your history and curation without the ability to modify it. At this time we will also sunset the Gallery mobile app to reduce the surface area of functionality requiring maintenance. Open Sourcing the Code In line with the ethos of open and permissionless building, we are open sourcing the Gallery repository today. We’ve always believed in the power of shared tools, and we want the work we’ve done to live on in the hands of the community. By making the codebase available to everyone, we hope to provide a resource that others can build upon or adapt for their own projects. We’re excited to see how this technical foundation might help someone else in the space continue the mission of digital curation. Preserving the History We know how much work has gone into these collections. We are currently exploring ways to keep Gallery alive in the long term to ensure the history and curation you’ve built are preserved. We’ll share any developments here on X. Thank You To the creators, the collectors, and the curators who made Gallery what it is: Thank you. You turned a tool into a community. We’ll share more updates as we have them. If you have questions about your specific data or the transition, please drop a comment below or reach out via DM.

@petravoice @foundation @base Read the full interview with Petra here: gallery.mirror.xyz/iYFABYQdd7olRQ…

@petravoice @foundation @base As an artist working with AI, she believes AI art redefines creativity and authorship by bringing new possibilities and inclusivity. She advocates for clear legal frameworks, diverse datasets to minimize biases, and transparency in her creative process.

Recently, Petra faced intense tweets, highlighting the debate on AI art's acceptance and exploration. She handled it, finding validation in praise and resilience in criticism, viewing both as essential for artistic growth. Her 'Babes' collection, strategically launched amid heightened attention from the argument, was meticulously planned. Its release capitalized on the moment, turning controversy into an opportunity.

Gallery Selects 011: Petra Voice Meet @PetraVoice, an AI artist exploring identity and emotions while juggling styles like post-photography, portraiture, and more. Recently at the center of the AI art debate, she dropped the iconic 'Babes' collection on @foundation for @base's onchain summer. Explore our discussion with Petra ↓

She likes NFTs for their innovative potential in art creation and global accessibility, supported by a community she has cultivated around her signature style. While appreciating collectors' role in sustaining her practice, she manages balancing artistic integrity with market demands in the digital art space.

Petra's work looks into the complexities of human nature and identity. She uses AI to explore the complexity of our inner lives, often focusing on the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of the female form. Her process is quite powerful, drawing on a mix of emotions, current events, and pop culture. She aims to create art that resonates deeply with viewers, inviting them to reflect on their own inner worlds.

Going into AI helped her to create art that was both innovative and deeply personal. This move was driven by her curiosity to explore diverse aesthetics, each reflecting a unique facet of the human experience. Her artistic evolution parallels personal growth and technological advancements, marking distinct periods of creativity and exploration.

Petra started her AI art journey about two years ago during a period of uncertainty following the completion of a major project and a move to a new country. The allure of AI as a creative tool immediately captivated her. It offered a fresh avenue to express herself beyond traditional methods.
