Blockchain—defined as a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a network—stands to offer solutions to long-standing inequities in the arts and culture sector. This one-day symposium explores the potential of blockchain to create greater equity within arts' systems by bringing together practitioners at the forefront of these developments to discuss their work, assess new possibilities for blockchain’s use throughout the art market, and to engage with community members interested in understanding blockchain and its applications. 

Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
