Demystifying NFTs is a two-part workshop series and award program where artists, performers, writers, and cultural workers can learn how to create eco-responsible NFTs.

In this workshop, you’ll learn what NFTs are and how they can be utilized by: - Learning the 101 vocabulary clearly defined (NFTs, blockchain, cryptocurrency, metaverse, Web3, DAO, smart contracts) & best practices you need to navigate the space - Understanding digital wallets through a step by step tutorial of how to set one up - Examples of how artists, performers, writers, and cultural workers can apply blockchain technology to financially support their practice/organization

In part two, you’ll build upon what you learned in workshop one by: - Practicing how to mint an NFT on alternative, energy-efficient blockchains - Developing practical tools on how to incorporate NFTs into your studio practice and/or arts organization - Understanding how the NFT art market functions as an ecosystem for selling, collecting, and virtually showcasing work–including a live tour!
