TIMEPieces celebrates the work of artists, which has been a core aspect of the TIME brand for nearly 100 years. The initiative has hosted three drops featuring 78 artists; all artists in the Artists for Peace collection have previously participated in a TIMEPieces drop.

TIMEPieces represents an important first step in TIME’s Web3 community initiative with the goal of building utility and community value over the long-term—for artists, collectors, and brand marketers looking to enter the space.

This auction follows the close of the recent Slices of TIME drop, TIMEPieces latest collection of NFT art, inspired by TIME’s nearly 100 year history. Featuring an innovative burn mechanic, collectors minted over 10,000 NFT’s from 99 collages, one for each year of TIME’s existence, and hand-made by TIME’s creative director, D.W. Pine. Holders burned 5,300 of the Slices in exchange for randomly distributed pieces of art from an incredible roster of 38 artists, many of whom are featured in the TIMEPeace collection.
