Global Blockchain Art Season, now ongoing in Shanghai throughout Jan 2, 2022, responds to a new trend in global art communities -- the creation, exhibition and trade in art based on blockchain technology.

The event is showing more than 100 works by artists from across the world, and holding forums and workshops at the Institute of Management in Arts and Design of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Shanghai.

Meanwhile a lab for the creation and management of blockchain art was founded at the institute, focusing on how blockchain technology will shape the art world and its stakeholders.
