4 May 2021, 8:00AM ET: New York, New York --
Designed by ViciNFT “NFTs for the common good,” twenty-five percent of auction proceeds will go to charities supporting wildlife and the environment.
Johnny Depp, the award-winning actor, musician, and artist, is issuing a series of official Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) through ViciNFT representing his own works in support of charity. The first NFT auction begins Tuesday May 4th at 9 AM Eastern Time and ends 5 PM ET May 5, 2021 on OpenSea at the official Johnny Depp auction.
Depp has supported over a dozen charities for over a decade, including an annual £1m to London's Great Ormond Street. His first NFT in support of charity, assembled by ViciNFT, represents a poem Johnny wrote for Winona Ryder and a photograph of Johnny playing one of his guitars in his special guitar room in his villa in France. Johnny started playing guitar at the age of fourteen and music is one of his passions. Johnny has signed the NFT with his unique signature. Consistent with all ViciNFT offerings, 25% of NFT auction revenues will go to one or more charities. Bidders may bid on the NFT on OpenSea using Ether (ETH).
