Celebrating arts and music for the ocean this Fete de la Musique

With the theme Mersea — a play on the French mer (sea) and merci (thank you) — LAMAVE has been chosen as the conservation beneficiary for this year's Fete de la Musique celebration. 

Fete de la Musique brings together hundreds of artists across 43 stages nationwide this month. 

As part of this celebration of art and music, Fete de la Musique has partnered with Scarletbox.io, the first blue-chip non-fungible tokens launch pad, for a fundraising campaign for the ocean. 

The collaboration features an art drop of 1,000 NFTs by various Filipino photographers that capture the beauty of the Philippine islands. Score a piece! Sale starts on June 19, 2023. Each donation puts you in the raffle for exciting prizes! Learn more about this collaboration here: https://bit.ly/42BWMGp
