For a little history here, the game CryptoKitties was the first major use case for NFTs and has been a huge success. There are many exchanges to find NFTs and each one tends to specialize in different types of art or styles. What’s more, artists will continue to get a percentage of the future sales of that NFT art into the future.

Meanwhile, arts industry leaders worry about " oversupply " of organizations in the face of dwindling demand. Arts organizations can operate on their own timelines and internal values. This may sound obvious, but the rhetoric about cultural organizations working in the social sphere often ignores our inherent differences.

It is what it sounds like: a book of original sheet music, beautifully designed and complemented with artwork and text. By then, recorded music was no longer just the document of a performance—it was a composite of style, hooks, and production techniques, an extension of a popular personality’s image within a current sound.

I feel strongly that there are huge issues with racial and ethnic diversity in museums and arts organizations that deserve a million more posts. One was a conference on pushing our practice in art museums. It took me awhile to catch on to the gender divide in museums, arts organizations, and libraries. That's why I wrote this.

I’m here with our Art Director, Devyn Taylor. This is well documented, and even the history of people describing themselves as white goes back to the slave trade.

As a forest-dwelling hippie, I know very little about reality TV, but it''s clear that the model of "do an ambitious, wacky project really fast" is now tied closely to a slew of shows about everything from cooking to art-making. Sure, they might have decided to present an art object in a confrontational and opinionated way.

The art of storytelling though, and documenting an event or a slice of time is, of course, not restricted to bound pages. I saw for myself that history was unfolding in front of me. When I think of story telling, I think of books. When I got on the ground in Madison, I checked in to my hotel and headed straight for the capital.
