Impact Lives
Own Authentic's innovative Digital Provenance stamps out fakes and creates trust between creators and collectors.
At the core of the solution is our proprietary NFC tag that the artist affixes to the artwork.
We invite you to sponsor a pack of 5 or more NFC tags to Indigenous artists.
Why it matters:
-
Aboriginal artists have lost an estimated $500 million to $1.2 billion through forgery and exploitation.
-
Every counterfeit work not only robs artists of income, but also erases stories, damages trust, and endangers cultural legacy.
-
By protecting Indigenous art, you’re doing more than safeguarding individual works. You are empowering communities to thrive, preserving cultural identity, and strengthening a vital part of the economy.
-
Authentic Indigenous art drives local industries, sustains families, funds education, and keeps traditions alive.
-
Your sponsorship helps Indigenous artists protect their traditions and secure their rightful place in history.
How It Works:
Sponsor as many artworks as you wish. NFC tags are available in packs of 5 at AUS $150 per pack.
Each tag sponsors the lifelong authentication and provenance of a single indigenous artwork.
1. NFC Tag
A secure, tamper-proof NFC tag that links the artist to their artwork.
Tags will be shipped directly to the Indigenous sector or program of your choice.
2. Digital Provenance (Blockchain Record)
Each artwork is permanently registered on the blockchain, creating an unalterable digital proof of authenticity linked to the artist.
3. Ownership Registration
Ownership details are recorded and updated over the life of the artwork, providing a trusted lineage of owners.
