Virtual NFT art gallery launches
First of its kind in state opens
The first digital NFT art gallery in Ohio is virtually open for business.
Richard Scheufler has been a marketer and artist for decades but has recently become a virtual art curator.
Scheufler has created the first NFT gallery in Ohio.
“All my marketing skills came together,” he said. “It’s like I found my first love again.”
NFT are non-refundable tokens which in the art world translates to having stock in an artist.
According to the NFT Art Gallery website, a fungible token like the U.S. dollar is not unique and each has the same perceived equal value but a non-fungible token such as NFT Art is considered unique and each has a unique value.
The full-service art gallery allows for customers who have no prior knowledge to purchase and appreciate the art.
Scheufler says he makes it as easy as ordering a pizza.
“There are no barriers to entry,” said “We wanted to eliminate the learning curve altogether and take care of the whole process.”
NFT art has blown up in the prior year due to a billion dollar art sale that took place earlier this year.
NFT art is expected to take center stage and become a modern day art collection, Scheufler said.
Scheufler says he began investing in cryptocurrency and decided earlier this year to take the plunge into NFT.
Scheufler is currently the largest collector of NFT art pieces.
“Some pieces I’ve purchased for $1,000 are now selling for half a million,” Scheufler said.
NFT art pieces are made in limited quantities and are able to be traced through the blockchain code, making it possible to see who has had prior ownership.
NFT Art Gallery has been recognized as a leader in NFT art collecting.
The gallery is chosen as a judge for a virtual fashion show in Monte Carlo.
“We’ll be providing marketing services for the winners,” Scheufler said.
Scheufler says the best part about NFT art is that it’s allowing artists to realize the appreciation value of their pieces.
“Artists were hit hardest during the pandemic,” he said. “These same artists who were starving months ago are now able to sell
“We get a chance to take part in something new and exciting. It’s revolutionary and accessible to anyone.”
