Letter to Madhu":

Government Blockchain Association
10560 Main Street, Suite 608
Fairfax, VA 22030
U.S.A.
Dear Madhu,
I would like to congratulate you for winning an award in the GBA Art Show, ‘What I Hope to See
Blockchain Achieve in My Lifetime’. Your piece, “The Giving Chain” won the award for Involvement.
This art show was originally planned for the Spring of 2021, but due to COVID, our entire event was
cancelled. This past May, the GBA hosted Blockchain & Sustainable Economic Growth with a new art
show entitled, ‘Art Meets Blockchain- The New Renaissance’. All works were minted into NFT form and
judged by the attendees of the event.
The 2021 show had completely different parameters for entry, so it was kept separate, and judged
independently. It was not minted into NFT form. The curator for the 2022 show, Moon Candra, an artist,
and art curator from Miami, was the solo judge for the 2021 entries, and she announced the 2021
winners at the 2022 event. But even though this 2021 show had to be cancelled, we did receive a
healthy number of submissions, and your piece stood out among them. Congratulations.
Please email me your mailing address so that I can send you your trophy through the mail.
The NFTs from the 2022 show will be displayed at our September event, Blockchain & Infrastructure,
Sept 29-30, 2022, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. All unsold NFTs will be for sale and all
artists will be contacted if their piece sells or resells. As an art show winner, you are invited to attend
this event as a guest of GBA. Please email me at Kathy.dache@gbaglobal.org for all details concerning
this invitation. For general information on Blockchain & Infrastructure please refer to our website.
https://gbaglobal.org/blockchain-infrastructure/
Thank you again, for participating in our maiden voyage art show. The GBA plans to host a yearly Art
Show with NFTs, with the hopes that governments begin to realize that all the artwork in national
galleries will benefit by being minted and preserved by this new technology. We invite you to participate
with new artwork every year.
Best Regards,
Kathy Dache’
