All participants of this occasion will be shown different art installations, some curated exhibitions, and the opportunity to obtain a limited edition in the "Merch Room." In addition, the retail section during the event will have a golden opportunity to advertise some top exclusive collaborative pieces by some of the big hits in arts and entertainment, which also includes Pusha-T and Aleali May, big names in entertainment and art.

The participants will also have the privilege of getting their crypto wallets and, in the process, obtain NFTs scattered all through the 30,000 square foot space via hidden QR codes. The Attendees can then use their collections to purchase various Aku digital works and Raf Grassetti's artworks.

While speaking to the press, Johnson said, "Aku World is a world built around dreams, it was imperative to incorporate talented artists and designers who have achieved their dreams into the world, and it's our mission to inspire everyone who walks through the door."

Aku World Miami unit will be open to the general public between 12 pm - 7 pm December 2 to 4th in Miami, Florida. The event is another milestone in the evolution of NFTs as the world continues to embrace the idea of digital arts more than ever.
