"Working with great partners like Palm NFT Studio and Moonwalk, we're extremely excited to present the SYLA Tour providing artists a unique platform - for themselves and their communities - to gather, celebrate, and be inspired."

"Palm NFT Studio believes strongly in supporting local artists around the world and empowering them to build communities and fans in an innovative way based on Web3.

By building a community and high energy around the "Art of Competition," the concept of a Secret Walls battle is specific and distinctive. The artists are divided randomly into teams and equipped with markers, paint brushes, spray paint, and paint rollers. Nothing is revealed to the artists prior to the start of the competition. The artists will have exactly 90 minutes on the clock to ideate and create their artwork. A select team of judges and a decibel meter measuring the audience's cheers determine the winner of each battle.

Secret Walls will also bring its Secret Walls Academy to select stops on the SYLA Tour. This artist-led youth workshop provides a crash course in art history and illustration techniques while building confidence in the next generation of freestyle street artists.

There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding Jennifer Garner and how she might feel about her ex, Ben Affleck, marrying a woman he had been engaged to before their marriage.

Former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks was surprised to see a photo of his daughter featured in a Fox News segment holding a grenade. In a segment by Jesse Watters titled, "Welcome to Camp ANTIFA" the network used a stock photo of Hendricks' young daughter. The photo was edited to show Hendricks' daughter holding a grenade. “Welcome to Camp ANTIFA, where kids learn to check their privilege, hate cops, and lecture you on climate change,” host Jesse Watters said in the segment. “Who does

The BBC’s chief yesterday said the broadcaster will “never” again screen its era-defining Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales and urged other broadcasters to follow its example. The pledge by the BBC’s director-general Tim Davie came in light of an inquiry by Lord Dyson, which found that interviewer Martin Bashir’s deceitful behavior – including […]

The pop culture extravaganza that is Comic-Con International is back to its old extravagance. Stars, cosplayers and hordes of fans are filling the San Diego Convention Center in full force for the first time since 2019. The pandemic necessitated virtual versions of Comic-Con in the summers of 2020 and 2021, and a scaled-back in-person version in November, but none were anything like the usual spectacle, with lovers of all things geeky descending from around the globe and arena-sized panels on films and TV shows that resemble sporting events.

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday, the host couldn't resist asking Ryan Gosling about playing Ken in the upcoming Barbie movie, especially since Gosling practically broke the internet in June, when the first photo of him as the iconic Barbie counterpart was released. When asked if he was surprised by the reaction the first photo got, Gosling shared, "I was surprised how, you know, some people were, kind of, clutching their pearls about my Ken as though they ever thought about Ken for a second before this.""They never played with Ken," exclaimed Gosling. "Nobody plays with Ken, man." And to further his point, Gosling shared the story of the exact moment he decided to say yes to playing the iconic role. After Greta Gerwig, who is directing the film, offered Gosling the role, the actor stepped outside into his backyard to think about it for a second. Gosling shared, "Best script I've ever read. I walk out in the backyard and you know where I found Ken, Jimmy? Face down in the mud next to a squished lemon." The blame for the mistreated Ken doll likely falls on Gosling's two daughters, whom he shares with actress Eva Mendes. However, it was then that the actor realized he needed to say yes to Gerwig. So Gosling took a picture of the disrespected Ken doll and texted it to the director saying, "I shall be your Ken. For his story must be told."

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) — who infamously raised his fist in support of insurrectionists earlier on January 6, was captured on camera running for his life from those insurrectionists that same day.

America's top television networks on Thursday turned prime time over to a gripping account of former President Donald Trump's actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol — with one prominent exception. Sean Hannity denounced the “show trial” elsewhere on TV just as he was featured in it, with the House's Jan. 6 committee examining his tweets to Trump administration figures. Hannity aired a soundless snippet of committee members entering the hearing room as part of a lengthy monologue condemning the proceedings.
