Miami Art Week 2021 schedule

Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is pleased to announce an exciting lineup of events, exhibitions, and programming for 2021 Miami Art Week that highlights the museum’s dedication to Miami’s diverse arts community. 

Panel: NFTs The Next 500 Years
Monday, November 29, 12pm
Virtual (online only)
While NFTs have dominated the discourse around art this year, everything about them feels opaque. How to obtain, define, and conserve NFTs are still confusing matters for many. To get to the bottom of things, PAMM Director of Digital Engagement Jay Mollica will moderate a panel with artist Sofia Crespo, Curator Dr. Tina Rivers Ryan, and Art Blocks CCO Jeff Davis. The panel will discuss how NFTs have changed the practice of digital art, where NFTs sit in the broader tradition of digital art, and where this all might be headed. RSVP here.
