One-off Souping

Introduction

As the name indicates, One-off Souping is a one-shot approach to souping without the need of forming or bringing in a community and committing to a long-term project.

One-off Souping is open to all artists who have been chosen to be eligible by ArtSoup following their application. With the monthly Open Calls announced on ArtSoup social media channels, both alumni and new artists can apply for One-off Souping and all accepted artists will take part in a single-pair souping experience.

As it’s a one-shot process, every artist only creates 2 artworks, one which they started on a blank canvas (completed by 2nd artist) and one which they’ve completed (initiated by the 1st artist).

One-off Soups are minted in the main ArtSoup collections on respective chains and listed monthly.

The Process

  1. Artists fill out the Artist Application form on ArtSoup.xyz

  2. Once approved, artists will have access to artist-specific channels on ArtSoup Discord

  3. Every month, ArtSoup announces Open-Call for One-off Souping on social media channels

  4. With the Open-call announcement, ArtSoup opens artist-exclusive "One-off Application" channel on Discord

  5. Once Open-Call is announced, ArtSoup approved artists can go to "One-off Application" channel on ArtSoup Discord and apply for open-call by creating a ticket.

  6. The requirements for creating a ticket involves submitting a unique and not-minted-before artwork with the application.

  7. Open-call duration is 20 days and is available for limited seats. Once deadline or seat limit is reached, open-call closes for that month.

  8. When open-call ends, ArtSoup announces pairings amongst artists that have applied and the souping process begins.

  9. The announced artists will receive their pair artists artwork and start working on it for max. 10 days.

  10. Once finished, the completed collab artworks (soups) are submitted through the Discord ticket and ready to mint.

Minted Collection

One-off Soups will have their own dedicated collections on all chains. All one-off soups from day 1 will be minted into the same collection.
