Sharjah’s House of Wisdom to host first NFT art exhibition on the metaverse – The National

Sharjah cultural hub House of Wisdom will host its first non-fungible token or NFT art exhibition from March 1 to April 15. Called Gateway to the Metaverse, the event will feature 60 international artists as well as 15 UAE artists, and will cover several themes.

House of Wisdom's Al Khawarizimi Exhibition area will host the physical version of the event across 24 screens that will showcase digital art, crypto art, musical renditions and performance art. Artists will be represented in two rotational rounds, the first featuring more than 30 international artists, followed by a second round covering roughly the same number of artists.

A two-day seminar, held alongside the exhibition, will delve into creative new technologies in the art world and introduce visitors to the emerging channels for artistic expressions and contemporary practices. A workshop will also be held to guide artists and visitors on how to transform their talents into NFT works.
