Title: FLIP SIDE - FUNDING PROPOSAL FOR APRIL - 2024
1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
- DAO introduction
Hi Everyone,
We are a Lisbon-based community that promotes the environmentally-minded work of emerging and established brands, fashion designers & artists.
We stand for the inclusion of artists from diverse backgrounds and collaboration instead of competition.
We organise monthly events in the most vibrant areas of Lisbon aiming to create a playground for all kinds of artists who work with sustainable fashion.

- Why team is best for the funds
For the new April edition, we want to include artists who work with digital fashion and also promote ways how artists can digitalise their art. We believe that collaboration with dynamic and fast-growing NEAR is a win-win for us!

- Impact
We’re talking about a festival that’s all about slow fashion, empowerment, and giving a platform to voices that gotta be heard louder. Now, imagine bringing NEAR Blockchain into this mix – it’s like hitting the refresh button on digital fashion, making it cooler and more accessible for creators and artists who are all about exploring new frontiers.
NEAR jumping on board with FLIP SIDE isn’t just about getting noticed by a bunch of creative minds; it’s about being the first blockchain fam to step into the digital fashion scene in a big way. This collab is gonna put NEAR on the map, right in the middle of where the magic happens, with shoutouts in all the cool mags and event pages around Lisbon. Plus, every piece of FLIP SIDE swag will rock a NEAR banner, making it clear who’s bringing the innovation.
But wait, there’s more – we’re not just about showing off; we’re here to share the knowledge too. We’re planning workshops that’ll break down how designers and artists can use NFTs to take their game to the next level. This is real talk about unlocking new ways to hustle and showing the fashion world how decentralization can shake things up for the better.
Teaming up with NEAR is a game-changer for FLIP SIDE. It’s about pushing boundaries, breaking new ground, and creating a space where young creators can thrive. This partnership is more than just tech meets textiles; it’s about inspiring a movement, where innovation meets street smarts in the coolest way possible. Let’s make history and show everyone how fashion and blockchain can vibe together, building a future where everyone’s invited to the party.
