Maecenas

Maecenas can democratise access to fine art by creating a decentralised art gallery — a truly open platform where anyone can own a piece of a Picasso. The team is building a global art Blockchain market where assets are traded quickly and fairly on a liquid exchange. Creating portfolios and trading shares in masterpieces will be available to everyone. Maecenas will convert million-dollar artworks into smaller digitised financial units that can be bought and sold easily — literally at a fraction of the cost.

For the first time, technology will allow investors, collectors and owners to exchange shares in paintings and sculptures instantly, akin to the way stocks of a company are traded today. Plus, top emerging artists will have a showcase for their work, free from the interference of middlemen.
