Unlike traditional crypto projects, Tezos allows stakeholders and community members to vote on protocol upgrades all the way to the top through consensus - ensuring a fair, democratic evolution of the network.One of Tezos’ most groundbreaking features is its self-amending system, which lets the community improve the network without messy splits or conflicts. Unlike many blockchains where big changes can cause division, Tezos allows its stakeholders to suggest, discuss, and vote on upgrades directly within the system. Once a proposal is approved, the upgrade happens smoothly with full consensus—no disruptions, no drama. This keeps Tezos stable over time while ensuring it can grow and adapt in a way that truly reflects the community’s voice.This system has fostered a thriving creative community, making Tezos one of the most unique and artist-friendly blockchains in the world—a true home for digital creators. Unlike many NFT platforms that have abandoned artist royalties, Tezos remains a place where fairness matters: transactions are transparent, collaboration is encouraged, and the spirit of artistic experimentation lives on.Visit tezos.com for more information about the project and its recent initiatives and updates. Visit this link for tickets to the event.What is TEIA?TEIA is a grassroots, international, multidisciplinary arts community that was born out of the Hic et Nunc (HEN) movement in 2020. Decentralized and fully open-source, the organization is run and maintained by the DAO, with a core team of representatives, and over 2500 members, with an official non-profit status from the Marshall Islands since 2021. TEIA's platform also includes novel and unique features not seen anywhere else - text-based art (acii and the written word), MIDI minting, open-sourced copyright and licensing registration, on-chain community polls and proposals, and an organizational model that's compatible to both digital and traditional practices.Visit teia.art for more information about how to create and register works through the organization, as well as more details about the governance process ($TEIA).This event is sponsored by Tezos Commons, TEIA, and teia.cafe.

The Seattle Composers Alliance presents: SCA Live Sessions — Bigger than Ourselves. Live Sessions is an ongoing concert series featuring the works of SCA members, played by rotating lineups of world-class musicians. The concerts are hosted in our favorite Seattle venues and enjoyed by all.The next Live Sessions concert will take place on Friday July 11, 2025 at The Fremont Abbey in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. This Live Sessions concert will be inspired by the contemplation and awe that comes from considering, worshiping or engaging with things that are bigger than ourselves, whether that be through the natural, the inter-personal, or the spiritual. The venue has a history of being a community service based church, a safe place to come and receive care beginning as early as 1914. Now, as a community arts venue, its stained glass windows and grand piano still have a sacred air to them. We will present pieces of music that share with our audience various perspectives of the human experiences of engaging in things beyond ourselves.We will feauture solo pianist, Dylan Hayes, a top-call jazz pianist, composer, and arranger originally from San Francisco and currently based in Seattle, WA. He began playing piano at age 7 and pursued his passion at Cornish College of the Arts, graduating in 2019. During his time at Cornish, Dylan studied under esteemed musicians such as Dawn Clement, Jovino Santos Neto, and Jim Knapp. He has had the privilege of performing with notable artists including Benny Benack III, Barry Stephenson, Jay Thomas, Johnaye Kendrick, Thomas Marriott, Christopher Brown, and Chris Amberger. Dylan's debut album, Songs For Rooms And People, was released in 2020 and was recognized as one of the top ten jazz albums of the year by The Seattle Times. He leads several ensembles, including Meridian Odyssey, DX-Tet, and Vela The Band, and has received commissions to arrange works for ensembles such as the Carolina Philharmonic and the Portland Composers Jazz Ensemble.You can check out his work with the above links, additional videos, or on his Instagram.Tickets can be found here(SCA Members should check the Members Only Resources page for a promo code!)
