W3B Presents Gala to Support FRAFCA NFT Art Education Program
Proceeds from the W3B Awards Gala on November 8 will support the Fraser Region Aboriginal Friendship Center Association (FRAFCA) with an NFT Art Education program. FRAFCA’s mission is to promote the health and well-being of urban Indigenous peoples in the Fraser Salish region by providing culturally relevant services, support and advocacy. The NFT Art Education program will be delivered by Tamara Goddard, CEO and founder of Four Our Future Indigenous Economics and co-founder of 400 Drums. This program will enable members of the FRAFCA community to harness the power of Web3 and NFT to keep Indigenous cultures and learning alive.
Web3 and indigenous economy
At the W3B event, Goddard will hold a main stage on the topic of Web3 and Indigenous Economy with a live art demo by David Fierro, Chief Operating Officer at Four Our Future Indigenous Economics. This work is part of their 400 Drums project – a campaign dedicated to supporting Indigenous elders, artists, speakers and tour operators to leverage new online platforms that monetize their skills while sharing their teachings and stories. David Fierro will also be speaking in a fireside session on the topic of blockchain in the creative industries, while Tamara Goddard will hold a fireside session on the topic of “Blockchain for Social Impact.” Visit the website for more information.
