Proponent: Ghini (Argenide Ghini)
NEAR account for payment: ghini.near
Project Timeline: February 1 th – February 20 th 2022
Objective: The main objective of this project is to bring women and trans artists to Mintbase (NEAR blockchain). The artists will mint their artwork to be able to participate in the FEMINU (Female NFTs Universe) Exhibition that will take place in the Museu.xyz in Cryptovoxels from March 8th – March 22th 2022. Also I intend in this project to encourage the habit of buying NFT and start a collection.
Justification (benefits): The relevance of this project is precisely to introduce Mintbase and NEAR blockchain to several Brazilian women and trans artists. This is important, because in the art market as in every market, these minorities are underpaid and don’t have the same opportunities as men. We need to pay attention and bring all the support we can to promote events that put women and trans artists in the spotlights. FEMINU Exhibition intend to achieve this goal and for that to happen, the onboarding is essential not only because all the artworks of the exhibition will be in Mintbase (NEAR blockchain), bringing visibility to both, artists and Mintbase, but also, the artists will learn how to mint, sell and buy an NFT at the platform. Another important issue is to promote the habit of buying NFTs, a good thing for the artists and for the Mintbase platform.
Project: In order to fulfill our objective, I will help the artists to build their NEAR wallets and be associated as minters probably in the Gambiarra store. The artists will have to mint at least 2 artworks. For that It will be needed 1,5 NEAR per artist, 0,5 for minting and 1 for buying an NFT.
It will also be needed 250 USD in NEAR for every 25 (women and trans) artists onboard payed to me for coordinating the process, with the goal of onboarding at least 50 artists.
Timeline
February 1 th – 10th – Distribute the first part of the welcoming NEAR amount (0,5 NEAR) and start onboarding the artists.
February 11 th – 20th - Check if they minted 2 artworks in the store and distribute the rest of the welcoming gift so they can buy an NFT at the price of 1 NEAR and start their Mintbase collection.
Budget
To onboard 50 people on Mintbase: 75 NEAR (1,5 NEAR to each person, divided in 0,5 NEAR at first and 1 NEAR after completing the task of minting 2 objects, being that the artist will only participate at the FEMINU Exhibition after completing the two tasks of the onboarding project (mint two artworks and buy an NFT). It will be provided half of the onboarding funds 37,5N initially and this process repeats then, with the next 37,5N for more 25 ppl onboarded.
[all the resources that were not used in this topic will be given back to Mintbase]
To pay the organizer: 500 USD in NEAR. [milestone: to onboard the artists. If I reach half of the people, I will be able to ask for the payment, or if we get to the time limit for the project, that is February 21th, with the minters there], explaining better… After I onboarded 25 people, and they each minted 2 and bought at least one for 1N from other people, MintbaseDAO will transfer 250USD in near to me., then the process repeat with the other 25 onborded.
TOTAL: 500 USD in NEAR + 75 NEAR

Maria, I think It will be great for another proposal and we can do it right after the ending of this one, because this exhibition will take place in the Musem.xyz. They are responsable for the historical records of the Brazilian NFTs history, I guess I never saw an international exhibition there. There is also the point that brazilian women and trans artists , including anyone who self identifies with this gender, really need this visibility. So I propose we think another one and I can start working as soon as possible in the proposal, if you like the idea and make it huge with all the international community. What do you think about it?
