Cryptoart to give away fine art wallets

Cryptoart, a Texas-based company that publishes a line of limited edition prints that store digital currency called fine art wallets, has been requested by SXSW organizers to exhibit its work in a gallery located in Hall 4, by the Trinity Street entrance, from 15-18 March.

During the event, it intends to distribute a limited number of its wallets and educate people about bitcoin's unique uses. It has also teamed up with Two Dots Studio and ZiftrCOIN to create an art piece for the event.

"We're excited about the opportunity to engage with SXSW attendees. The art we sell holds digital currency. If you are curious about how it works or simply want to enjoy bitcoin in physical form, please stop by the gallery," says Cryptoart founder, Troy Fearnow.

During the event, members from the digital currency ecosystem including Texas Coinitiative, San Antonio CryptoNetwork, and ZiftrCOIN have volunteered to help educate the public.

"The ability to physically hand bitcoin to someone without an intermediary or online account is not only useful, but helps people understand how block chain technology works," says Fearnow.
