“Da Race on Wheels” is a collaborative project by Fine Art Shippers and Mitchell Schorr.

The workshop was organized by the founder of International Art Management Sofia Birina and featured the Mastermind of Think Tank Community and co-founder of Kingdom of Kaprika Sergey Sevantsyan and the founder of Kaprika Media Roman Luka. “Da Race on Wheels” NFT is currently up for grabs on OpenSea.
