Have a wonderful weekend!

@everyone

Hi Huggers! It’s May and I’m excited to introduce the Meta Angels x Adobe Artist in Residence for May: ** @Nhefertiti ** <:MAHugHeart2:1038227663388680202> 

**__About Nhefertiti:__**
> @Nhefertiti doesn’t fit into most boxes. She’s a creative working in the NFT space and is deeply passionate about art and design. Nhef’s background is in architecture and she has been creating digital art since December 2020. Just 8 months later, she made the transition into the NFT space and quit her job the day after she sold her first NFT in August 2021. Since then, she has spent her time drawing as a full-time NFT artist.

We are so excited to have Nhefertiti as our AIR this month and look forward to working with her to bring Huggers another incredible artwork to add to their collection. HUG is looking forward to showcasing Nhef’s signature vibrant linework to the entire community!

> “I am obsessed with lines; it is the most noticeable feature of my work. Much of my inspiration comes from my curiosity about different manifestations. I explore feminine beauty, inner power, and architecture in a very peculiar way.”

Please join us @everyone in giving a huge HUG to @Nhefertiti, our Artist in Residence for May. <:MAHugHeart2:1038227663388680202>

This month’s Artist-in-Residence, @Jack 🌈 aka jprittee, has created this exclusive artwork for all @Huggers!

**Perennial Pals** by **@Jack 🌈**

As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers – and while this rainstorm may seem never-ending at times, as long as we nurture and support each other this garden of ours will continue to flourish.*

GM@everyone! 🤗 

In case you missed it, HUG is **here for the art!** and in an effort to continue to support artists and put them at the forefront of everything we do, we are happy to announce that we have **reimagined HUG committees**, and are launching the new iteration of our micro-communities as the <:earth:1095672296670240858>**HUG Creator Guild**<:earth:1095672296670240858> ! 

__**<:earth:1095672296670240858> What’s the new iteration of HUG Committees about?** __
> The HUG Creator Guild is the revised iteration of our original micro-communities within HUG. The HUG Creator Guild will be the new place for all current pair holders and @OG Hugger to have the opportunity to onboard new artists, get artists into IRL and URL galleries, create content, level up their design skills, learn, and earn. As HUG shifts to put artists at the center of everything we do, our Committees are shifting to follow suit. Welcome to Committees 2.0!

__**<:earth:1095672296670240858> Who can access the HUG Creator Guild?**__
> Verified HUG Pass holders of any matching pair and @OG Hugger will unlock access into a newly consolidated HUG Creator Guild whose goal is to help, teach, and amplify artists. Folks who belong to the HUG Creator Guild also have the additional benefit of being able to earn HUG Points or Fiat for taking on “quests” on the HUG Quest Hub.
> 
> The new HUG Creator Guild empowers all members to be an active and rewarded participant in community-wide endeavors and events to support artists.  

__**<:earth:1095672296670240858> Tell me more about the Quest Hub!**__
> The Quest Hub is a bulletin board of available quests that any Creator Guild members can raise their hand to take on or pitch for. Available quests have varying HUG Points (and sometimes Fiat!) payouts. The Quest Hub will go live on May 10, a week after we have migrated into the new Committees structure.

__**<:earth:1095672296670240858> What are some things I can do in the HUG Creator Guild?**__
> Creator Guild members can take part in referring artists to HUG and supporting them through their journey by taking part in our Quest Hub opportunities. The Quest Hub will include things like IRL and URL gallery lead generation, content (articles, interviews), design opportunities (merch, emojis), and, of course, community events! Various initiatives will be posted on the Quest Hub monthly, so more folks who are interested in being a part of the process of shaping the community at HUG can easily take part. We’re always open to suggestions as well, especially if you have a creative idea about how to support, amplify, and empower HUG artists!

__**<:earth:1095672296670240858> So what can I expect to change here on Discord?**__
> Your existing Committee Channels and Forums will be closed and retired on **Wednesday, May 3rd**. A new, consolidated Creator Guild will be available for pair holders and @OG Hugger that same day! This token-gated section of Discord will be consolidated to be easier to read, easier to follow, and easier to take part in.

Best of all? <:raised:1095672291372830791>  Folks belonging to the Creator Guild (aka @Hugger who own at least one pair of matching HUGs or are @OG Hugger) will be entitled to a special perk that will be available for claim for two weeks starting May 3 as a thank you from the HUG Team for continuing to evolve the community with us! 

I want to also acknowledge the outstanding work that all our incredible @Committee Head have put forth over the course of this past year to help shape our community into what it is today. @Hugger can look forward to keeping some of the existing fan-favorite events like Artist Workshops, Silent Discos, Festive Challenges, and Hangouts in this new format as well! 

__**<:raised:1095672291372830791> TL;DR:**__
> We're here for the art, and we hope you are too! <:hearts:1095672068751761468>

@everyone <:heart:1095672298368946259> **The results are in! Here are the 10 incredible artists who will be showcased at NFT Bali come May! ** <:heart:1095672298368946259>

Jack's various collections are designed to support & celebrate LGBTQIA+, BIPOC & women creators in Web3 by spotlighting, curating, and reinvesting profits directly into the works of diverse artists throughout our community.

We are so excited to have Jack as our AIR this month and look forward to celebrating HUG’s first year anniversary with an incredible OG Hugger and Creator like him. HUG is looking forward to showcasing an artwork to Huggers that celebrates our diverse community with Jack at the helm:

> “Shortly after coming into this space and observing for a bit, it was made clear that we needed more people to truly champion inclusion & diversity in a meaningful way - and supporting emerging, diverse artists felt like the perfect route for me. I love art, I love creativity, and I love experiencing other people's perspectives. That is how growth and innovation happens. So that is what I have been focusing my energy on, and it has been so fulfilling!”

Please join us @everyone in giving a huge HUG to a Community OG, @Jack 🌈, our Artist in Residence for April. <:MAHugHeart2:1038227663388680202>

It is with great pleasure that we introduce our Meta Angels x Adobe Artist in Residence for March: **Wanjigallery** <:MAHugHeart2:1038227663388680202> 

**__About Wanjigallery:__**
> Wanjigallery is a Kenyan woman, photographer, and digital artist. Losing her job led her to pursue photography and she has since become a freelance photographer. Through that, she discovered digital collage art. She is self-taught and has been practicing her collage art for over a year and a half. 

We are thrilled to have Wanjigallery with us this month and look forward to uplifting her in her endeavor to promote both African culture and mental health awareness:

> “Most of the subjects in my pieces are photographs that I've taken and used to make art. Some photographs were purposely shot to make (these collage) pieces while others were shot randomly to be a source of inspiration for a (given) piece. My main focus is on mental health and promoting African culture. I derive my inspiration from my environment and the circumstances in my life.”

Please join us @everyone in giving a warm welcome to Wanjigallery, our Artist in Residence for March. <:MAHugHeart2:1038227663388680202>

This month’s Artist in Residence @VanGoDoodle, has created this exclusive work of art for all Meta Angels and HUG pass holders! 

**Safe Space** by **Vanora Vaz**
*Picture, for a moment, your favorite place. The color of the walls, the way light enters and fills the space, the sound you make when you step inside. The people- if any at all.*
*For some, a safe space could mean spending time with family, or a daily ritual or going to the gym.*
*So what is it about these spaces that make us feel safe? Is it the things that fill it? The feeling it brings? What makes it YOUR safe space?*
*It’s probably difficult to answer these questions because safe spaces are so deeply personal. You chose it to be your place of comfort, a place that’s judgment free.*
*Safe spaces don’t coddle us or blind us from the realities of our world. They offer us a brief opportunity to be vulnerable and let down our guard without fear of judgment or harm.*
*This piece of art was made in collaboration with the community’s responses to what their dream indoor safe space looks like.*
*Our safe spaces are defined by our emotions and experiences. They don’t need to be pretty, popular, or perfect. They just need to be ours!*

**Happy Friday**! This is the final announcement in the Meta Angels server, but only the beginning of the next phase. Now is the time to join the Angels at HUG if you haven't already: <https://discord.gg/thehugxyz>

We are closing today on a note that reflects the holiday spirit. This week we have not one, but THREE angel grants to announce! Warmest congratulations to our three winners 🎉  

> <:daisyheart:935304796343250964> Our first grant goes to <@936371507343552522>. Rebecca is a single mom and business owner who often has to travel for work. This grant will go toward helping her cover costs for trips required to secure new clients. 
> 
> <:daisyheart:935304796343250964> The next angel grant goes to <@723516054831235124>, who plans to use the funds to help with costs related to medical school. Ivan is on his way to becoming a specialist in ophthalmology, and dreams of one day opening up his own health-tech startup business! 
> 
> <:daisyheart:935304796343250964> Our last angel grant is for <@879102679224320062> who will use the 0.25Ξ to help fund a new laptop - her current is from 2010! - so that she can continue to learn coding and enhance her Web3 Solidity skills. 

<a:angelstars:1016744062432325772>  We also want to thank and acknowledge **__each and every one of you__** who sent in one of the hundreds of applications we received over the last several months. We value you and recognize all of the heartfelt requests and wishes that you took the time to send to us. Thank you 🙏 

Wishing you a brilliant holiday season filled with love 💖

Hello @everyone,

As we prepare to wind down the Meta Angels discord, we want to take a moment to acknowledge each of you, original and new members alike, and thank you for being part of our community. 

When we embarked on this adventure just over a year ago, we could never have foreseen what was to come: a mint that sold out in pre-sale, a community where true magic happened (so many community wishes granted!), our Artist-in-Residence partnership with Adobe, our WeAreWeb3 event at NFT.NYC, being nominated for best smart contract innovation, and so much more.  

What an incredible ride we’ve had so far… and we’re incredibly excited to continue to grow the magic of Meta Angels under the umbrella of the parent company led by OG Meta Angel @​RandiZuckerberg.

As a first step in the broader integration, we have created a new haven for all @Angels on the HUG discord. If you haven't yet joined, we encourage you to do so within the next few days: <https://discord.gg/thehugxyz>. 

Starting next Friday, December 23, this discord will transition to a read-only format. You’ll still be able to find information about Meta Angels and reference past conversations, but we’ll be fully transitioning to the HUG server after that day. You’ll be able to find us there, as well as your fellow Meta Angels community members, and the Wishing Well! I know it may feel bittersweet, but this is only the beginning!

Please feel free to direct any questions to me, @​meta_ally, or to @​twolf 💕.

We cannot thank you enough for being part of this first phase of Meta Angels, and we can’t wait for you to see what we have in store for the future.  🚀

Much love & happy holidays to you and yours! <a:angelstars:1016744062432325772> <a:heartzoom:1014642788421353522>

@everyone 

In collaboration with **Liquid Collections**, an Angel Labs company, Meta Angels is bringing you the most sinfully indulgent drop of the year: *Fallen Angel Tequila*, a super-premium reposado tequila made in small batches from 100% Blue Weber agave. 

> Sourced from the valleys of Jalisco and the highlands, the agave is fully matured in the fields for more than seven years, enhancing the complexity and intensifying the natural sugars in the plant. After harvest, the agave is cooked with steam in stainless steel autoclaves and fermented using fresh wine yeast for more than 100 hours. After distilling in traditional pot stills, the tequila is then aged for five months in American oak barrels and bottled without any additives.

<a:angelstars:1016744062432325772>  The *only* way to get one of the limited edition bottles - featuring Meta Angels artwork - is to mint your liquid-backed NFT!* 

<a:angelstars:1016744062432325772>  All Meta Angels holders have access to a reserved 48 hour discounted mint window on Cyber Monday, Nov 28, starting at <t:1669654800:t>. 
 
👉   Please **pre-register here to mint**: <https://heymint.xyz/fallen-angel-tequila>

More information: <https://liquidcollections.com/collections/fallen-angel-tequila>

**Each NFT is redeemable after 90 days for one 750ml bottle. Tokens may be gifted, traded or sold in advance of the redemption period. Shipping is available to select US states. Please refer to the HeyMint registration link for detailed information.*

<:fireangels:1016744018115317852> For both discount codes, please visit our token-gated #💸member-discounts channel.

Coming to you today with our Biggest Announcement Ever: **Meta Angels has been acquired!!** 🎉
 
We’re officially joining forces with HUG to build an integrated, scaled community and platform for NFT collectors and creators, while also working to onboard millions who are still just crypto-curious.

@​meta_ally and I wrote up some deeper thoughts for @everyone in this Medium post, where you can read more about the vision we share with @​RandiZuckerberg, @​safronova 🔮😈♏, and their team, and why we think that the smart consolidation of premium like-minded communities is the future.

https://medium.com/@meta_angels/announcing-meta-angels-acquisition-54552aedace9 

The TL;DR on what this means: Meta Angels and HUG holders will soon enjoy expanded benefits and offerings, and our communities will be merging into HUG’s Discord.  Everything you love about Meta Angels will become even stronger in this new, broader community: the Wishing Well, our Member Directory, the Meta Angels Artist-in-Residence program, and more. We’ve pulled together some FAQs here: https://www.notion.so/thehugxyz/HUG-x-Meta-Angels-FAQ-2b6a5a4738164b7391e56c699aec3caa

You can expect more specifics in the weeks to come, but for now – know that we’re more excited than ever about the possibilities for Meta Angels, and we’re thrilled to have you all along with us on this journey.
 
We will be hosting a town hall on Twitter Spaces with Randi and Debbie on <t:1667854800>, and we look forward to celebrating with all of you then: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1lDxLnbMDbyGm

@Angels,

It is with great pleasure that we introduce our November Adobe Artist in Residence, Tony Menias aka @​Beloveful.

Tony's perspective on life through the camera lens is meditative, beautiful and often very poignant. He captures moments in everyday life from around the world that prompt contemplation of the human condition, allowing us to see beauty in often ordinary settings that might otherwise escape our attention. 

We are thrilled to have Tony with us, and to help bring his story and thoughtful view of the world to a larger audience:

> "My curiosity is insatiable. Fascinated by anything new and different, I travel and explore as much as possible. The world speaks to me visually and I have a hard time keeping my eyes closed. I am observant to a fault and in perpetual awe of the beauty that surrounds us." 

Please join us @everyone in giving a warm welcome to Tony Menias, our Artist in Residence for November 📸

Good morning, @Angels! 

Our October Meta Angels x Adobe Artist-in-Residence free (+gas) mint is live! 🎉 

This month’s Artist in Residence, Yinkore, created the incredible, exclusive piece titled *To the Beat of Liberty’s Drum* for our Meta Angels Community:

> True freedom comes from accepting and loving yourself at whatever stage you are in life, but often there are societal structures and standards that make doing that incredibly hard. 
>  
> This piece symbolizes the fight against those oppressive structures and pressures in an effort to find that freedom in choosing yourself. The contrast between the figures movement and the rigidity of the lines around her are an attempt to highlight that battle. 
>  
> And as the resistance begins, that stringency slowly begins to fall apart. Allowing her to begin her dance, to begin her journey to freedom. 
>  
> Because in a society like ours, going against the grain and choosing yourself is very often a revolutionary act in and of itself. So here’s to breaking free.

Follow & support Yinkore's work on:
✨ Twitter <https://twitter.com/Yinkore_>
✨ Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/yinkore_/>

__Mint instructions:__
If you own a Meta Angels NFT or have the POAP from our Twitter Space on Friday, go to https://app.metaangelsnft.com/adobe-air/mint to claim your token. The free (+gas) mint will be open for seven days, so you have until <t:1667865600:F> to mint.

Note: All owners of Meta Angels are automatically on the snapshot list. Post any questions about the allowlist in #🛎ask-for-help and tag Community Manager @​twolf 💕.

Gm @Angels ☀️ I’m thrilled to be sharing this announcement about a really exciting Angel Labs company finally coming out of stealth: **Liquid Collections**!

Based on the Lil Nouns collection, the ghostly-inspired, artisan-crafted vodka is dropping this Halloween. _And here’s some alpha just for you: keep an eye out for their second drop coming soon…in partnership with us right here at Meta Angels 👀 It’s going to be 🔥_

@Angels  We have a brief update regarding the InPeak Gen II allowlist registration that we published here on Oct 10. InPeak is requiring a new process to allow them more control over the quality and number of applicants. This turn of events is beyond our control, but the good news is that your chances for an AL spot *may* be better now - since it's no longer entirely random! This tweet provides all the information you need: https://twitter.com/inpeakxyz/status/1582431655335460864

Gm Angels! It is with great pleasure that we introduce our October Adobe Artist in Residence, **Yinkore**.  

Yinkore is a purpose-driven artist with a story to tell. Using bold lines and intense colors, her vivid and emotional works are not only Art, with a capital A, they are also a form of Activism.  As a person with multiple minority statuses, exploring the intersectionality of all these by creating pieces that primarily focus on the representation of black women, her Nigerian culture, sexuality and all other minority issues relevant to her, is not only an issue of preference, but an obligation.

> *Art is not just my career, it is my form of activism. It is my voice, and I use it everyday resisting the silence people like me were taught to embrace. *

We are thrilled to have Yinkore with us, and to elevate such an important voice in the NFT art community: 

> *People hardly tell stories like mine, and learning art put a new language in my tongue ... It is my voice, and I use it everyday resisting the silence people like me were taught to embrace. *

Please join us @everyone in giving a warm welcome to Yinkore, our awe-inspiring Artist in Residence for October <a:heartzoom:1016743883792719932>

Hello @Angels!

Our September Meta Angels x Adobe Artist-in-Residence free (+gas) mint is live! 🎉 

This month’s Artist in Residence @​Laura Santiago created the incredible, exclusive piece titled *Grateful Heart* for our Meta Angels Community. 

> "Before we opened our eyes to the world, there was love in the form of nature, welcoming us to take part of its soil, encouraging us to grow roots in the land we now call our own. We prayed for food, for safety, for company and nature delivered, showing us the extent of its generosity, care, and love. Our hearts were nurtured with a unique kind of love, one that elevates our being and allows us to see beyond the leaves and the streams, inviting us to receive it with open arms and a grateful heart, today, tomorrow, and always."

If you own a Meta Angels NFT or have the POAP from our Twitter Space yesterday, go to https://app.metaangelsnft.com/adobe-air/mint to claim your token. The free (+gas) mint will be open for seven days, so you have until <t:1665183600:f> to mint.

Seven NFT Projects That Are Applying An Equity Lens To Their Work

#22: Driving real-life impact through NFTs w/ Meta Angels (Alex Cavoulacos & Allyson Downey)

Big Announcement From Meta Angels Co-Founders, Alex Cavoulacos & Allyson Downey | Overpriced JPEGs #24

With over 300 hand drawn elements, the Angels represent the vastness and similarity between us all. Created from the same base, the Angels showcase beauty in diversity. Strong, kind, and generous, they stand for the better world that we build together through our actions. Meta Angels is building a community of problem solvers who want to roll up their sleeves and help others. That could mean opening doors and making introductions, offering their expertise, or even presenting employment opportunities. The heart of Meta Angels is a tool called The Wishing Well that allows its members to provide help, connections, and advice in response to specific asks from the community. Dive into the Wishing Well on Discord, scroll through to see where you can help, and post your own wishes!
