I love this idea and the discussion! Besides web monetization I think NFTs have incredible potential for the performing arts and Im looking forward to seeing where this will go. Thanks for diving into this Radhy!

Ive been keeping a close eye on how other industries have been using them, particularly sports. It seems like there is a lot of development to do but it looks promising. Im strongly considering making a limited series of ballet art NFTs as a means of fundraising for Ballet Rising. Ive talked to several artists about it and everybody is pretty excited.

Thanks! It will be an interesting process getting artists to understand and adapt but there is a drive to expand into the digital world now so education will be fun! For my self as well!

I agree with Casey I think performance arts can utilize NFTs in some cool ways and Im personally excited about that. I also saw someone in here using NFTs to license works. This is another way artist can leverage the NFT space. I saw you mentioned the Ballet concept. Maybe add tangible pieces to this as well. So the largest NFT could be auctioned for free Ballet lesson from a performer or chat.

Thanks @victoriac ! that s a great idea! Im toying around with a few basic concepts like that with the idea of starting off simple and slowly adopting some of the more cutting edge ways people are starting to use them as I become more educated and as the arts community gets more familiar. There is so much going on its impossible to keep track of everything.
