Showcasing Steem in New York City

This public exhibition will showcase the tools and resources built for creative professionals on the Steem blockchain and specifically how @sndbox members have integrated them into their practice and daily work. The exhibition will be open to all visitors for several weeks and serve as a free and public space for New Yorkers and others to learn about the Steem blockchain, the world of crypto, and immediately begin converging their creative work with the Steemit ecosystem.

The Crypto Renaissance Details

Schedule: July 20 (Opening @ 7:00PM) - August 15, 2018
Location: 100 Bogart Street | Brooklyn, 1st Floor Gallery

The Crypto Renaissance Mission

The Crypto Renaissance is the first exhibition in New York City dedicated to creative and entrepreneurial work made on and through blockchain technology. In this show, Steem will be taking center stage. The Crypto Renaissance will showcase the Steem-powered projects executed over the course of the Sndbox incubator as well as the blockchain-powered tools (Steem DApps) that helped make them real.

The exhibition will be held in the gallery of 100 Bogart, a building complex in Brooklyn that houses dozens of influential blockchain startups. 100 Bogart has been a core part of dubbing this region of Bushwick as “Cryptolandia” alongside neighboring companies like Consensys (of Ethereum). This gallery space is the perfect location for a New York-based Steem launch.

The exhibition will feature large scale boards that document community projects that have taken place within the Sndbox incubator as well as an introduction to the Steem ecosystem, and showcases of the many apps active across the blockchain. iPads will be placed strategically throughout the exhibit for visitors to browse, post, upvote, and comment in real-time.
