How Can Art Play a Role in Wealth Management Services?
2021-12-08 - 2021-12-09
Over the past years, we witnessed a significant shift in wealth managers’ perception of the role and value of art and collectibles in a wealth management strategy and service offering. In 2021, 85% of wealth managers believe art should be included as part of a wealth management service.
Today the question is no longer whether art should be part of a wealth management offering, but rather how it can be implemented effectively.
Join us to discuss this topic and hear from our panel of high-profile experts:
Ms. Anne-Claire Bisch, CEO at Ports Francs & Entrepôts de Genève
Mr. Andreas Gerber, Head of New Business at Sygnum Bank
Mr. Nicolas Syz, Head of Private Banking at Bank Syz
Ms. Marlène Bergue Corbun, Art Advisor at ODDO BHF Family Office

Uplift your professional practice and join us for a webinar exploring contemporary issues around museum equity, reparation, and their digital dimensions.

First, social justice and DEI museum leader Monica O. Montgomery will discuss museum remedy: processes for engagement and repair, with guidance for equitable strategies in an evolving landscape of return. We then examine case studies of museums as better neighbors, sharing perspectives of three curators, working to boost social awareness around origins of sculptural and sacred items from Native American and African communities. Current exhibitions from the University of Michigan Museum of Art and a project partnership between the Anchorage Museum / Chickaloon Village Tribal Council are vibrant case studies, redefining ethics, intellectual property, and best practices around remedy.

The Year In Digital Innovations: From NFTs To Creative Tech
2021-12-15 - 2021-12-16
The past year has been transformative for museums. Emerging from a global lockdown, cultural institutions have innovated with creative technologies and retooled their digital strategies to better reconnect with audiences. The hybrid landscape emerged, immersive experiences have boomed, and NFTs arrived as a radically digital-first medium — all of which presented museums with new opportunities to expand and enrich their programs.
So how have museums met the challenges and possibilities of 2021? Join Jing Culture & Commerce for a webinar that looks back at 2021’s key culturetech activations, trends, and events, and how they might point the way forward in 2022.

The Art Museum in the Digital Age – 2022 International Online Conference
2022-01-17 - 2022-01-22
The Belvedere Research Center is continuing its conference series on the digital transformation of art museums with its fourth event on the topic. The COVID-19 pandemic, and our resultant inability to experience proximity to people and objects, has given the matter additional “virulence” in museums. Although the topic of digitization was gaining ground before the pandemic, the measures taken against the virus created a very special experimental arrangement in which the digital presence of museums was no longer merely a possible extension of exhibition spaces but rather the only way to reach the public. While the focus of our 2021 conference explored the premise of a crisis-induced return to the museum’s own collections, this time it shifts to questions beyond binary concepts, such as media specificity, hybridity, and mixed reality. In five thematic blocks, the lectures of the online conference by international experts deal with how the digital and the analog can be productively, conceptually, and aesthetically interwoven in a museum setting.

Following COP26 and the release of NMDC’s report ‘Green Museums: Tackling the Climate Crisis’, NMDC is convening a conference hosted at the Whitworth, University of Manchester, to explore the role of museums and galleries in combatting the climate and ecological crisis.
Museums and galleries have a unique perspective as institutions that take a long-term view with their mission to preserve collections and stories for the future.

The conference will provide a forum to consider two key questions:

What can museums do to reduce their environmental impact?
How can museums inspire positive action?

Lawyers for the Arts: NFT Digital Technology – From the Stone Age to the Metaverse: NFTs as Virtual Pathways to Film, Art, Music, Luxury Goods and Legal Practice
2022-03-28 - 2022-03-29
The Tampa Museum of Art presents a Lawyers for the Arts program with Art and Law Lawyer Alexandra Darraby. The presentation geared towards lawyers and art enthusiasts will focus on NFTs, the metaverse, copyright, and technology.
Neither technology nor culture is new nor modern. But entertainment and luxury goods are in a digital ascendance in the form of Non Fungible Tokens. Alexandra Darraby, founder of the Art Law Firm®, former gallery owner and law professor, describes the connectivity of tech and culture based on recent cases shared from her newest book on arts & technology, excerpted here: “The metaverse is the new virtual and visual frontier, a user- interactive digital environment based in computer-generated spaces of augmented and virtual realities, NFTs and cryptocurrency. These are ether worlds in which visual imagery predominates. Virtual reality thus impacts—and challenges–traditional bricks and mortar interactions, judicial administration and attorney-client engagement. Technology upends categorizing legal claims, interpreting traditional statutory terms; re-evaluating demographics for litigation and juries, and impacts the meaning of societal and legal community engagement.”
Join legal commentator Alexandra, author of Darraby on Art Law, in a program featuring the dynamic impact of NFTs and appropriation on markets, collections and legal practice, including Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Andy Warhol and Prince, Lil Yachty, heirloom and iconic brands like Hermes, Patek Philippe, Cartier and Bulgari, and more. Presentation includes how and why have NFTs trigger appropriation types of litigation on claims of copyright and trademark infringement, publicity rights, unfair competition and how lawyers and law firms might ethically and responsibly advise clients in a climate of rapid change and inconclusive adjudication.

Alexandra, former gallery owner and law professor, describes the connectivity of tech and culture based on recent cases shared from her newest book on arts & technology, including topics like:
What are NFTs, what are the facts and myths about the block chain, the ledger, the cryptocurrency trade, and “meta.”. How and why have NFTs triggered appropriation litigation across the country on claims of copyright and trademark infringement, publicity rights, unfair competition. How can individuals and institutions adapt to rapid change, expand community outreach in a virtual environment, increase membership when members increasingly rely on social media and the internet. How do museums re-envision their missions and what is the meaning of patronage in a world of the metaverse and NFT collectors. How do exhibitions and art education traverses bricks and mortar buildings to the digital universe.
