The WAC fellowship is an 8-week fellowship program called WAC (Web3 for Arts and Culture) features eight established art and culture institutions learning how to incorporate web3 technologies.
Inspired by the new use cases identified during the program, the eight bounties will explore beyond drops and collectibles to create open-source proof of concepts on the Tezos blockchain.
We will talk about on-site web3 interaction, NFT ticketing, tokenomics for a curation DAO, web3 integration in virtual spaces, and much more. Anyone can submit entries, technical knowledge is not required. The fellows will announce the bounties to the Gitcoin community in an online event at 2pm UTC on May 25th.
Hackathon Twitter Space: 16:30 UTC, 26th of May on @GitcoinDAO Twitter
The two primary goals of this fellowship are to 1) onboard cultural institutions in Web3 and identify new use cases, and 2) provide an open-source template for other museums, festivals, and more to build their own future.
The fellows imagine different decentralized future scenarios for the arts & culture sector through a UNESCO-backed futures literacy lab hosted by the MOTI Foundation.
The WAC has been engineered by We Are Museums, an international community of museum professionals, and TZ Connect, a Berlin-based team dedicated to advancing the Tezos ecosystem, in collaboration with Blockchain Art Directory 2.0.
