iamnotArt is Chicago’s first physical Non-Fungible Token (NFT) gallery. The gallery looks similar to any other boutique art gallery from the outside.

iamnotArt is the region’s first NFT gallery that opened in June. The exhibition has thus hosted a community-centric event. However, on Saturday, the first major exhibition of the firm was launched.
Moreover, the entire exhibition has been recreated in a game-like metaverse world. Displaying in the back wall with a feed pumping live footage from the real-world gallery to the game space.
