Artists selected to participate and donate include Vladimir Nazarov, Cope2, Jason Naylor, Michael Rieger, Studio 502, AWTT, David Olenick and many others.

Collect these unique pieces while doing good. 100% of your purchase is a donation that supports the 9/11 National Day of Service & Remembrance (receipt provided).

9/11 Day, created in 2002 with the support of the 9/11 community, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

“Our mission is to permanently take the day back from the terrorists, turning the 20th anniversary of 9/11 into a worldwide day of unity, peace and doing good.”

9/11 Day x Epik - Into the Metaverse

Nazarov is honored that his art can give back and help the 911 Day organization in fulfilling its ongoing mission of making the anniversary of 9/11 into a worldwide day of unity.

The twin towers will always be an eternal symbol of the success, unity, and freedom of New York City, a city that has given Nazarov the chance to become the artist that he is today. Nazarov invites patrons to support this epic charity and receive a limited edition digital artwork celebrating the spirit of togetherness that this event is honoring. 

Nazarov: A Tribute to Togetherness

For Nazarov, the memory of seeing the twin towers in person for the first time will always stay with him.  In that moment, he had his first profound connection with the city that called to him to make a better life for himself and his family.  The towers told him that anything in this life was possible and that he could turn his dreams into reality through dedication, hard work, and sheer force of will. A Part of Us embraces the concept that after 9/11 “we all became New Yorkers.”  The desire to better our lives, in peace, acceptance, safety and fairness is something all of humanity wishes for at their core.  These are qualities that unite us, qualities that forever shall be a part of us. 

One of the darkest days in our nation’s history was followed by a sunrise filled with courage, hope, unity, and compassion.
In Spirit of Unity, Nazarov harnesses that golden light of hope as it radiates all throughout the city as an eternal sunrise stretching itself to cover the world with the warm spirit of togetherness."

Never Forget is a limited edition NFT of Nazarov’s original work on canvas of the same name. In Never Forget, Nazarov utilizes his Divine Intervention style and the colors of the American Flag to capture the spirit of a country united, in the aftermath of the events of 9/11.  In the months that followed Nazarov found himself surrounded in a city awash in red, white, and blue.  Nazarov recalls the flags that hung from every building, vehicle, and structure following that day.  He witnessed a city and country that had come together united in helping one another recover.  Inspired by 9/11 Day’s mission to “transform the anniversary of 9/11 into a worldwide day of unity and doing good,” Nazarov paints orbs of gold and silver, symbols of permanence, to represent the everlasting spirit of togetherness that they are spreading around the world.  

For Nazarov, New York will always be a city of color, light, constant motion and wonder. Even through an experience of great tragedy, the city has never lost these qualities. Viewing this NFT is to see New York City as the artist does:  a promise of acceptance, support, hope and prosperity.  New York is the city where all the colors come together.  

The winner of this auction will receive this one-of-a-kind NFT and Never Forget, the original 40"H x 30"W,  work on canvas, as well. In this unique, one-off edition, Nazarov captures the stages of creation for his original work on canvas: Never Forget. The edition is animated, to show the growth of the painting over the time of its development.

For Nazarov, the stages of growth of the edition are representative of his own personal metamorphosis as an artist, father, business owner, and human being discovering his identity within the great city that does not sleep.
