PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION EVENT USING NEAR BCLOCKCHAIN FOR WEB 3 EDUCATION. NEAR WALLET AS ACCESS AND NEAR TOKEN AS MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE BETWEEN CONTRIBUTORS AND COLLECTORS
Abstract
This project is an onboarding event that would use conceptual photography exhibition and music as avenue for educating photo artists, fine art photography enthusiasts and collectors about web 3 and its applications on the NEAR blockchain. This event would create a lot of aesthetic beauty that would portray NEAR in a fantastically artistic light while also achieving the important purpose of expansion and adoption by making NEAR token the currency with which transactions would be made at the event. Publicizing the event through the contributing photo artists and regional channels, a commensurate traffic of admirers and collectors would happen at the event making it an avenue for web 3 education and NEAR as the blockchain for the creative because of its affordability and speed.
The theme of photographs to be submitted for the exhibition would be black and white abstract and illustrative photographs. This theme would perfectly mirror NEAR’s branding since the NEAR logo is in blackand white also. This ambiance created with the black and white theme and organic soul music would create a very aesthetically appealling nuance at the exhibition…
The event would be held at the oaksprings events conclave, a chill zone in the urban part of lagos with the middle class demography of Lagos society.

To create the beautiful
Justification
