Should the following Tier 6: up to $240,000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff) grant in the Content Creator category be approved?

Abstract

Museum wants to continue onboarding people and teams to its art platform and we want to provide a premium experience for brands to be able to do so. For that we need more devs, 3D modeling help, and mkt and biz dev help.

Our community already holds a fan base of millions of users and we want to continue growing and start to take advantage of this.

Description

Creating cultural relevant activities that help gather the community around different art and social events and pushing forward the experiences that we can do with this. We have been developing experiences for the DOG project of PleasrDAO, the gather of funds for Lajos and others. We want to bring international artist to the space and help the community explore new kinds of digital art with NFTs such as generative art, metaverse sculptures, wearables in an organic and unique way.

We are building up momentum on onboarding international artists and projects to the platform. Our goal is to provide a cool and professional experience to these brands every time, with the best we can provide as a platform, and the engagement we can generate with the right resources.

So facing the challenge of a bigger amount of artists and brands wanting to be in the district, we want to generate memorable assets and also make the museum platform better for brands and be able to execute a bigger scope.

We need resources for platform scaling, new premium artist activations and new artistic projects.
