About the event
With the initial cycle of NFTs inflating value through vibes and hype, Meta Betties believes that meaningful and practical use cases are key to onboarding the mainstream to crypto art & digital assets long term.
They will be taking us on a journey exploring the rebirth and maturing of NFTs, and the future they present for social change. This will be followed by a live performance and minting of an NFT, and the opportunity to explore the Canvas 3.0, a digital art gallery that features groundbreaking Web3 and tech projects.

Currently in residency at The Canvas 3.0 in The Shops at the Oculus in Westfield World Trade Center, she utilizes “Meta Betties,” her concept art collectible minted on the Ethereum Blockchain, to pave the way for digital activism.
