MIAMI, FLORIDA; JUNE 1-6 - NFTs.tips, the world's largest and fastest-growing NFT community, hosted its first pop-up exhibition at BitCoin 2021 this June in Miami. The nonprofit foundation hosted six physical events and one full virtual day showcasing digital works from 116 international artists.

Special experiences such as an NFT treasure hunt in the Wynwood District and a Vernissage dinner to celebrate the launch of the NFTs.tips Collectors Club are also planned for the week.

In addition to a curated presentation of digital artwork, guests can expect “crypto cocktails,” exclusive AR gallery exhibits, an NFT pool party, limited edition NFT giveaways, and digital swag bags.

NFTs.tips After Party hosted by Eight Meta, Ravin Dave & DJ Journey.

The main theme of this inaugural NFTs.tips exhibition is Out of the Darkness, into the Light, a visual representation of society’s journey out of the global coronavirus pandemic.

A special digital arts series “Life is a Garden” will be presented during the Collectors Club Vernissage party on Thursday June 3rd. These works will also be shown at the Black Dove Gallery on Saturday June 5th. Both events are by invitation only.

In Miami, Collectors and enthusiasts can meet up-and-coming and established artists in a social yet interactive setting. NFTis.tips will also provide guests with an overview of this new technology. On Wednesday, June 2, NFTs.tips celebrated the Miami virtual day with back-to-back Clubhouse rooms during the day featuring artists discussing their art. In the evening fans from around the world took to the metaverse for musical performances by Avalona Music, Princess Samurai, Weinbagz, Tyrone Post, Mend Universe, Young M.G. LV XIV, Chris Arvan, Ravin Dave, and DJ Journey.

The performances seen above, were experienced by one hundred guests in the virtual venue below. Using WASD keys and a mouse pad to move around, the environment is Oculus enabled but easily accessible and fun on a desktop attached to wired internet.

The customized, Mozilla Hubs environment lets users choose an avatar or upload their own. Geo-spatial audio and voice recognition allows users to communicate in real-time within the open environment, complete with gestures and tracking movements.

Fans could not only engage directly with each other, but also dip off and enjoy the show solo, or like IRL do both. The difference is here, people came from around the world, without leaving wherever they were. Pretty cool! And to top it all off, there was featured some amazing nft art, all linked and available to purchase on the spot. Brilliant!
