Viva Muertos is Valleywise Health Foundation’s first-ever NFT drop that will launch Nov. 2, 2021. This innovative fundraiser connects Phoenix’s large Hispanic culture with the arts, technology and philanthropy. The collection features 10,000 unique, Dia De Los Muertos-inspired characters known as “Muertos.” Each Muerto was programmatically constructed from hand-drawn art by Phoenix artist, Lalo Cota. Viva Muertos will honor Dia de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday where families celebrate the souls of their deceased loved ones.
