Thanks for the proposal, we definitely should fund this.
I think there are next interesting ways this DAO should function:
- Invest into artists early: this can be streaming payments on small sums paid out, creating interest for artists to start working with the platform
- Curation of the NFT items by buying them. Sputnik V2 allows to do this now via a DAO mechanism.
- Creating stories around these artists and art work to promote it in the ecosystem
- Resell the art, as both artist and art work become more known
This is pretty much what “dealers” in art world doing, by finding early artists, funding them to get access, promoting them and reselling their art work. Now on-chain critically artists can participate better via royalties in this process and transparently see engagement around their work and connect with fan base directly as well.
@INFINITY Can you please link the Sputnik v2 DAO in the proposal that should get funded? Few initial curator members with their profiles would be good start for 5k.
Next funding step should be then based on engagement around the art that this curators have acquired and artists engagement as @vlad suggested.
I also think multiple of these DAOs is also justifiable as we will see different access to artists and different tastes.
