Imagine a world where the story, provenance and rights of every piece of art are stored immutably. Where an art purchase today secures perpetual equity to the artist who created it, and where new ownership models are redefined to open up more flexibility for artists, galleries and collectors. This is why we created Arcual. The first blockchain ecosystem built by the art community for the art community.Founded in collaboration between Art Basel and LUMA Foundation, and brought to life with the technology and Web3 expertise of BCG Digital Ventures, Arcual is uniting the art industry in a shared mission to put artists at the center of the art ecosystem, offering them greater ownership, transparency, and participation in their careers.
