Incubadora Vertical supported two projects in September: CUBA SHOTS and NFT Fair.

“Género e Inteligência Artificial -Conversations with Eliza” was the seminar held by Incubadoras’s educational project. The speaker was Pedro Costa, a researcher who studies technology and gender. The video of the initiative is online in our YouTube channel and website.

- The winners of our 6th edition of our Artist Stipend Program ( Gustavo Torres, Leonardo Sousa, PV. Dias, and Mariana Malheiro ) have already completed their second month of stipend and are about to deliver their reports.

- This month we also opened an open call in a special edition in which we invited artists to have their work transformed into NFTs. In a spin off of our traditional grants program, we will this time support nine artists who apply and present three images that can be transformed into NFT.The results of the selected artists will be announced in October.
- Poliedro: We developed our zine Poliedro with some works by artists from our community. We make this material available in our online store and over time we are also feeding our project page on the website with more information about these artists and activities connected with the Poliedro project.

Highlights:
- This month we filmed a video with Catarina Lopes in continuation of our project Artist Interviews by CUDO x Incubadora called “CUBA SHOTS”, a project that portrays artists in the contexts of their daily life and work. Veridiana Leite, Henrique Neves, Tiago Rocha Costa, Francisco Lourenço, Jessica Burrinha, and Manu Romeiro’s videos together already had more than 2k views, pushing up the visibility of our channel. PV Dias video was launched this month, and Luan Okun video will be the next to be released and published on our website and social media.

- In order to support each other and nurture creativity and collaborations within the ecosystem, we helped to organize and participate in the third NFT fair. During this event each DAO bought artworks from the other DAOs through Astro. Participation in the NFT fair is being very interesting to strengthen ties of partnerships with other DAOs and to generate engagement in our Mintbase Store.

- The merchandising material that we ordered has arrived and we now have physical products for distribution and promotion of our DAO. This material was financed with funding from Marketing DAO. During Nearcon in Lisbon we were able to show and share part of this material with our community.

- As part of our educational program we decided to share some new tutorials about us and Near community for our followers on Instagram. This initiative has the goal to help arts and cultural professionals to connect with our activities and understand better what blockchain is and how this can help them. We already have a few tutorial videos on our Youtube channel and website, but this time we want to reach new audiences on a different social media.
New instagram educational posts
- This month we were also present at another seminar that was promoted by PhilosophersDAO together with us to discuss subjects related to art and philosophy. This conversation was attended by artist Juliana Matsumura and mediator Rosi Morokawa.

- Nearcon also took place this September in Lisbon and we were able to make some contacts and share ideas with other people in the Near community.
