Fairchain Co-Founder and CEO, Max Kendrick, with TAC Podcast Host, Emily McElwreath. In TAC Podcast Director, Morgan Everhart’s studio.
Are you sick of hearing the saying, “Starving Artist”? So are we. Max Kendrick is the guy doing something about this and it’s revolutionary. Right now, outside of live performance, visual arts is the only art form that isn’t receiving some form of residuals. Up until the present day, Artists spend their entire careers developing their practice and building the value of their works, only for others to benefit.
However, because of Max’s new company called, “Fairchain”, artists and galleries can ensure a primary and secondary market percentage of their artwork sales. In other words, Fairchain allows art to actually support artists.
