The first cohort of the Artists of Color Accelerate Initiative is a bridge-building vehicle of cultural ambassadorship to dismantle systemic racism in the arts and establish a regional artists of color network and economy. Our vision is that through this work, Hartford will become known as a community that produces and exports cutting-edge cultural arts. Blending Art, Technology, and Advocacy, NFTs offer a solution for building generational wealth, legacy, and fan engagement.
