Decentraland Art Week 2025 Kicks Off with 4-Day 'TOUCH GRASS' Festival Featuring Over 30 Artists

Decentraland's annual Art Week 2025 is set to immerse users in a four-day virtual art festival from September 24 to 27, under the compelling theme "TOUCH GRASS." The event aims to explore the intersection of digital art and human experience, transforming the virtual world into a dynamic canvas. Social media users, such as Valeria Ribeiro, have expressed enthusiasm for the event, with Ribeiro tweeting, "> @decentraland Art week 2025 wonderful event 😍🇧🇷."

The festival, announced to feature over 30 leading artists, will host large-scale installations, workshops, and activations designed to encourage reflection on presence and sensory art within virtual environments. The "TOUCH GRASS" theme challenges participants to consider how digital art can enrich human lives in an increasingly digital future. Many of these installations are slated to remain live for at least 12 months, extending their impact beyond the event's duration.

Programming for Art Week 2025 includes a step-by-step creative journey through 3D spaces, offering workshops on creating in Decentraland, gaining recognition for virtual art, and utilizing AI tools for 3D artwork. Ahead of the main event, Decentraland also partnered with Digital Fashion Week, showcasing virtual exhibitions and interactive experiences that merged physical and digital realms in New York and London. This collaboration highlights the growing synergy between virtual fashion and art.

Notable artists contributing to the event include Sara Shakeel with "The Forgotten Sense," Johanna Jaskowska's "Synthetic Rest," Amber Vittoria's "Where Her Thoughts Can Land," Clara Bacou's "Bloomfang," and Micah Alhadeff's "BloomSynth." These diverse works promise to offer unique perspectives on digital aesthetics and immersive storytelling. Decentraland, a decentralized, community-driven virtual world, empowers users to create, explore, and own digital assets, with governance managed by its community through a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
