Rethinking the Art Ecosystem
Founders of Artvest Advisory, Stilllife, and Proper Provenance discuss how they're reshaping the roles of collection advising, curatorial platforms, and provenance research. This panel examines the evolution of legacy art world structures and the emergence of new strategies grounded in trust, long-term value, and community-building.

Panel 2

Tech-Driven Innovation in the Cultural Sector
With founders from ARTXCODE, ARTLAS, and Theatr App, this panel explores how blockchain, AI, and digital platforms are redefining how we experience, distribute, and engage with art. From generative creativity to performance access and market transparency, these tools are reimagining the future of cultural entrepreneurship.
