Hello
First off, I'm not saying I'm the only artist who accepts Bitcoin. I'm highlighting the fact that this is the first time that a gallery allows Bitcoin payments through the artist's account (in this case mine) DURING the whole exhibition (together with the opening) - and if I'm wrong - then even better, I'm glad if that's not the first time because it's just so natural for Artists to adopt Bitcoin as a form of payment. You can also TIP me directly by scanning the QR code that will be hanging in the gallery.
Also, Bitcoin is NOT the only currency that the gallery and I accept - it's an additional form of payment for those who have Bitcoins and want to pay with them
My husband is a co-founder of a secretive Bitcoin startup that will influence the digital currency market very fast and I'm just so thrilled I can be a part of the whole process of developing the artistic world and helping to adopt the DC.
If you have any other questions or hesitations, don't wait to email me directly:

I'm happy I could bring up this subject here!
that's good but i am surprised there is no mention, or use, of ascribe.io. that the artist accepts btc for her work isn't really any big deal in that it is neither a unique or new event, but also... she could accept anything just as easily... the event suggests a sort of publicity stunt.
i don't want to rain on her parade, but why is the fact she accepts btc any big deal? I've been involved in the arts all my life and seen plenty of barter and trade takes place. many artists prefer to work outside the system. accepting btc is akin to saying "I only accept rupee for my art" it is just one of a panoply of currencies available.
ascribe.io however is a much different thing. ascribe.io is a blockchain based verification of authenticity, provenance and ownership. it is especially useful for selling limited editions, something that is common with photo-work.
i wish the artist luck with her show, and the work is nice too, but i urge her to look into ascribe.io. she wont be the first to sell her work using it but i think she will still be a trailblazer. she isn't the first to offer her work for btc anyway. might as well use the tech to do something fiat cant do.... I'm not affiliated with ascribe.io, but I wholly endorse it and in this case it could be of great benefit to both artist and patron.
