Visitors can hold, swap, and build their own mini art collection with various packs offering nearly 200 collectable cards, and there’ll even be grading and authentication services from Grading Eleven Authentication so you can seal your card inside exclusive protective slabs. If you prefer to wear your art, the exhibition has also partnered with local fashion brand Grocery to translate the visual motifs of the art cards into wearable daily items.
