DNDNXT GEN Art Showcase
The DNDNXT GEN is a ticketed, highly curated art showcase presented by the DND Infinity Group. It is designed to create a direct and impactful connection between U.S.-based artists (both emerging and established) and a network of high-profile collectors, investors, and creative professionals who approach art as equity and legacy. This showcase focuses on providing career-elevating experiences and strategic visibility, offering an alternative to the traditional art fair or gallery exhibition format.
Eligibility and Submissions
The opportunity is open exclusively to U.S.-based artists. The organization’s definition of emerging and established focuses on an artist’s vision, originality, and professionalism, not their years of experience or prior recognition. All mediums, styles, and concepts are welcome, as there is no specific theme. Access to the official submission form is granted after the initial submission fee is paid.
Compensation and Artist Benefits
This is your biggest win: Artists Retain 100% of All Profits from all sales of their artwork made during or as a result of the showcase. DND Infinity Group is committed to ensuring participation directly fuels the artist’s career and legacy. Selected artists also gain instant access to the DND Infinity Group’s internal network, connecting them directly with industry leaders and cultural influencers.
Showcase Venue and Experience
The event takes place in a luxury lakehouse in Bethesda, Maryland, utilizing the entire multi-level space—including multiple kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas—to display art organically in a home-like setting. This immersive presentation allows attendees to experience artwork as if it were already in their own residence, which is designed to foster a more dynamic and personalized sales environment. The event is invitation-only for high-profile guests but tickets are also available to the public, ensuring both intimacy and professional visibility.
Artist Investment and Professional Resources
A non-refundable Showcase Fee of $275 is required from selected artists. This fee is considered a strategic investment applied directly toward elevated production and curatorial management. This commitment guarantees the following professional resources and opportunities for the artist:
Professional Documentation: Artists receive high-resolution, curator-staged photography of their artwork displayed within the luxury environment (delivered post-event).
Collector Visibility: Featured placement and detailed information in the exclusive DNDNXT Collector’s Digital Catalog, distributed to the organization’s private network.
Event Infrastructure: Full production management, dedicated installation/de-installation support, insurance coverage during the exhibition window, and event security.
Networking Access: Invitation to the private, high-profile event for direct engagement with collectors and industry leaders.
Curatorial Team
The showcase is founded and led by Cyana “CT” Denby, an accomplished artist, curator, and creative strategist. DND Infinity Group emphasizes its proven track record, which includes 20+ artwork sales across emerging and mid-career artists in the past year, 30+ brand collaborations, and a 100% return rate for participating artists in their previous events.
