NFThon Kaunas is one of the regular CultureTech events from the NFThon series in the Baltics and the EU (organized by Gleb Divov / FAYR Ecosystem - www.fayr.org), which draw people's attention to the potential of modern technologies and solutions (like NFT, Blockchain, Web3, Metaverse, AI, XR) in the fields of culture and sustainable
development, involve them in the creative process and spawn a new wave of local and international digital artists, collectors and the surrounding community.
During the first in-person NFT hackathon in Baltics/EU that happened in late June 2022, in the frame of Kaunas 2022: European Capital of Culture in Lithuania, during the 3 days time, 20+ selected participants from Lithuania and Europe created own unique NFT projects dedicated to the Hackathon's themes: Creativity, Sustainability, Technology.
The results of the NFThon Kaunas are presented at the dedicated month-long (July-August 2022) exhibition "NFThon: The Future" in the main event space of the biggest shopping center in Kaunas - Akropolis.
Also, within 3 days NFThon Kaunas held open educational and onboarding lectures for everyone on various subjects, including Cryptoart History, Blockchain+Culture, Art+Tech, NFT platforms, Blockchains, Sustainability and more.
Exhibition "NFThon: The Future" Innovation has always been the driving force behind change in art and culture. We believe that it's important to endorse these changes. Exhibition "NFThon: The Future" emphasizes the never-before-impossible fusion of culture, blockchain-based innovation and sustainability. A month-long curated showcase (July-August 2022) in the main hall of the Kaunas' biggest mall - Akropolis Kaunas, combined with artsy minimalistic bionic-like structures, Lithuania-created NFT innovations and contribution of international participants, attracting and inspiring a new generation of artists, thinkers and responsible citizens.
