Cannabis and NFT? Live minting hosted at NYC Dispensary

Where Art Is Born

Bright Moments is a digital art gallery which started as a group of volunteers in Venice Beach, California, and is now promoting its generative art experiences all over the world.

Bright Moments has already held their live IRL minting events in Berlin, London, Mexico City, Tokyo, among other cities on the list. “Where Art Is Born” is the slogan of the DAO.
