# This Week in Music NFTs - August 8

By [Invest in Music](https://paragraph.com/@investinmusic-2) · 2022-08-08

---

Community curation is coming into the picture.

Whether you’re a new artist, an emerging act or someone with an existing following - there’s a curator for you.

This week I announced the Music NFT Launchpad - a way for creators new to web3 to mint their first Music NFT. If you know someone who would be a good fit, please have them [apply here](https://forms.gle/CQb9TLtTBc8PYxFo8).

Community leader [Henry Chatfield](https://twitter.com/HenryChatfield) is also gearing up to [run a cohort for new creators](https://twitter.com/HenryChatfield/status/1554369412878110721?s=20&t=3TYGTBmm9OkqilesiA97JA), further expanding the ways to get started.

Catalog announced a new curator program, allowing community members to apply to onboard new artists on the leading 1/1 Music NFT marketplace. If you think you’d be a good fit, apply [here](https://catalog.typeform.com/to/sHx9frjQ).

**What we’re starting to see is collectors, artists and curators alike help shine a light on emerging web3 artists.**

A great example of this is the [Venice Music Collective](https://twitter.com/JPinder/status/1554540498521505792?s=20&t=3TYGTBmm9OkqilesiA97JA) - a web3 social club and distributor which saw one of their artists - [j’von](https://twitter.com/itsjvon) - sell out his debut Sound drop within the first hour.

Another example is the support Mija received from the [0xTHULU community](https://twitter.com/0xTHULU/status/1554500583729545218?s=20&t=SWyz5PwwFLyqDK7EgC-83w) - helping her sell out 100 editions in less than a second. Pro Tip: [I’m With the DJ Holders](https://opensea.io/collection/hi-mija) receive an allowlist for her upcoming mint in a few weeks.

No matter where you turn, community curation is moving the needle.

If you’re in LA, come watch us [talk about it live](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdk5WTqVCeU5xgBTq6tOlUDN-kf7kHuHa7XQ23a2VPfPXbTmw/viewform) at Soho Friends on Wednesday.

Curation at Catalog
-------------------

Curation is subjective, as it should be. An art world dictated by an 'objective' good-bad binary isn't a world we believe in. What's needed is space for more voices to shine.
