Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. announced the Grand Opening of one of the first, if not the first, 3D virtual art galleries in the Metaverse -- Oasis Digital Gallery, an extended reality, immersive web experience where users can walk through and experience the look and feel of a "real" art gallery and where they can view and purchase NFT artwork directly from the gallery hangings. The Oasis Digital Gallery will launch with renowned pop culture digital and traditional medium artist, Lynn Mara, with an exhibition of her Barcode Ponies, a digital collection of uniquely crafted and colored collectible Zebras. A total of 255 pieces will be available for purchase in a virtual 3D experience that will not require additional equipment such as VR goggles to be viewed.

The virtual gallery will feature 104 pieces and the entire collection can be viewed in the Oasis Digital Gallery Store. Visitors will be able to maneuver the gallery's "walk-through" environment just by using their computer's web browser, mouse, and keyboard. The digital representation of each painting can be enlarged for better viewing and will feature a clickable information plaque and an audio description.

In addition to touring the gallery and viewing the artwork, guests will have the opportunity to purchase copies of the paintings as NFTs right from the digital display. Purchasers will be able to purchase NFTs using PayPal, fiat, major credit cards and cryptocurrencies directly via Shopify. The Oasis Digital Gallery has already booked future art events and is built to host future virtual events such as galas, corporate and social gatherings.

The Oasis Digital Gallery will also be accessible in the future through Collector Aisle, a theme based virtual island as part of the Aftermath Islands Metaverse that is dedicated to NFT collectors.
