With the Covid-19 restrictions lifted in Portugal, March was a very exciting month!

We’ve kept up with the [Crypto Meetups at Arroz Estúdios](https://www.meetup.com/lisbon-crypto-meetup-group/events/) – our weekly casual talks about crypto featuring drinks, good music & pizza (some of them purchased with NEAR). The Wednesdays workshops program has fully integrated our Planting A.I.R residents, as well as some studio holders and collaborators since we’ve implemented the NEAR Fair Distribution this month.

**See more detailed information about workshops:**

March 9th: NFT and Mintbase Technology, with @marianeu.

March 30th: Onboarding of the Arroz events team to the DAO system for the fair distribution of NEAR Proposals

As the second cycle of Planting A.I.R. residencies are ending, @tomassnts.near @nkakasessa.near will be presenting their projects. Tomás Santos will present his first exhibition and Nkaka Sessa will launch his EP. Their residency final projects will debut on an April 8th event at Arroz Estúdios.
