In 2018 we established a community benefit society for creatives in Liverpool with experience of creating digital content for artists, musicians, filmmakers, and writers that collectively created a digital platform for Smithdown Social Arts Hub that sought innovative and digital opportunities to generate income for artists.As early adopters of cryptocurrency, we were interested in the rapid rise in the use of blockchain technology, particularly non-fungible tokens (NFTs), that assigned smart contracts to digital artwork which gave artists more control over the sale, partners, commissions, and future sales of their work.This discovery led to a survey of the over 60 local traditional and digital artists we had exhibited at Gallery 455 since June 2021 and realised none had generated an NFT and had no understanding of the onboarding process.Our project will demystify the use of NFTs for a group of local artists through an educational process that will provide detailed NFT and blockchain technology education, onboard artists onto the blockchain through creating individual cryptocurrency wallets, and help them to create and mint a series of NFTs onto the world's largest NFT marketplace, Opensea, in order to trial the benefits of NFTs for local artists.

2018 年，我们在利物浦建立了一个创意社区福利协会，拥有为艺术家、音乐家、电影制作人和作家创作数字内容的经验，他们共同为史密斯当社会艺术中心创建了一个数字平台，寻求创新和数字机会为艺术家创收。作为加密货币的早期采用者，我们对区块链技术的快速增长感兴趣，特别是不可替代代币（NFT），它分配了智能 数字艺术品合同，使艺术家能够更好地控制其作品的销售、合作伙伴、佣金和未来销售。这一发现导致我们对自 2021 年 6 月以来在 455 画廊展出的 60 多名当地传统和数字艺术家进行了调查，发现没有人生成过 NFT，也不了解入职流程。我们的项目将通过一个教育过程，为一群当地艺术家揭开 NFT 使用的神秘面纱，该过程将提供详细的 NFT 和 区块链技术教育，通过创建个人加密货币钱包将艺术家带入区块链，帮助他们创建并铸造一系列NFT到全球最大的NFT市场Opensea上，为当地艺术家尝试NFT的好处。
