Canada's First Nft Residency Program For Underrepresented Creators

Elevate's NFT Residency Program was designed to launch NFT artwork by underrepresented creators on the global stage. Through the immersive 4-month residency program, creators were empowered to thrive in the NFT art space. The first cohort showcased their art pieces alongside high-profile NFT artists at Elevate’s NFT Art Gallery, in the historic Design Exchange, Toronto’s architectural gem.

Want to explore the intersection of arts & tech? Join us on the Creator Summit Content Track at Elevate Festival 2023, taking place in Toronto from September 26-28, 2023.
