The Indigenous Art Market is a ‘profitable’ market, conservatively valued at $500 million, with most Female Indigenous Artists living below the poverty line; despite $20 million p.a. of government handouts to Indigenous Art Centres, they still operate at an annual deficit. Beverley set out to fix this with a global, scalable patented solution, ideated by First Nations People, enabling true self determination. She knows that fair trade is better than aid.
The Indigenous artist population comprise many older females who support large families, where this is often their sole income. A recent report showed female artists over 60 years old produce majority of all artworks. Beverley’s AI Art platform has contributed to liberating oppressed women artists and invests in the next generation of emerging female leaders who tell their cultural story through their artwork
Beverley’s social change work has involved impactful advocacy to governments in Canada and Australia where Indigenous Female Artists are most found, creating massive social change for Aboriginal Women.
Beverley’s First Nations Blockchain, [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION] defended intellectual property successfully to ensure that no imitators pose as having the same or similar competitive advantages. The AI blockchain patents provide a barrier to entry to possible players [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION].
Industry Impact for the Art industry has garnered First Nations Brand recognition as a trusted entity for social purpose.
