NFT Art Day ZRH

About The Event

NFT ART DAY ZRH is the prime annual conference at the intersection of Web3 and contemporary digital art, exploring the multifaceted interconnections between art and technology, through the lens of blockchain and NFTs, whilst building bridges with the traditional art world.

It brings together international contributors, leading figures, NFT pioneers and visionaries to share their knowledge and to shed light on the intersection of art and technology, in the realm of blockchain, metaverse, and NFTs. Their insights are set to open a critical dialogue and to offer new understandings and perspectives of the relationship between the traditional art world and the crypto ecosystem.

The second edition of the NFT ART DAY ZRH is taking place over two days, on the 10th and 11th of June 2023, prior to Art Basel and during the Zurich Art Weekend. On Saturday, our satellite events with educational sessions and the NFT ART DAY party are happening at Trustsquare Paradeplatz, while the main NFT ART DAY ZRH conference will be held at Kunsthaus Zürich's new Chipperfield building, on Sunday, June 11.
