Bright Moments is a digital art gallery that started in Venice Beach, and has gone on to establish crypto art communities around the world through the creation of live IRL minting experiences. The gallery works with generative and AI artists to help them produce iconic real world experiences of their art.

CryptoCitizens is a generative pixel art project on Artblocks by Qian Qian representing the Bright Moments community. Each city collection is based on immersive anthropological research of the culture, locations, styles, and people found there. These facets are painstakingly rendered within a 45x45 pixel grid to celebrate the tapestry of humanity across the world. So far the gallery has minted CryptoCitizens in Venice Beach, New York, Berlin, London, Mexico City and most recently Tokyo. Buenos Aires will be the eighth city on their ten city tour around the world.
