[Guild ](http://gov.near.org/c/creatives/arroz-criativo/54)DAO: arrozcriativo.sputnik-dao.near [Expense history ](https://www.sputnik.fund/#/dao/arrozcriativo.sputnikdao.near)[Current balance ](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/arrozcriativo.sputnik-dao.near?status=all)Council members: @roadworks @raquelareia @plantasia Hello, Creatives! The support and inspiration of the Creatives community made the month of May full of milestones for Arroz Criativo DAO. First, our **NEAR Hub** is now up and running. We are very proud to now have a dedicated space to further develop the NEAR community in Lisbon. Thank you for all your support on this funding proposal. During the _[Shillin’ n’ Chillin’ Special | NEAR Hub Launch](https://www.meetup.com/lisbon-crypto-meetup-group/events/286031120)_, we hosted a casual talk with The Black Cat Cinema about NFT tickets and RAIZ Vertical Farms about their mission towards the tokenization of plants! During the NEAR Hub presentation, we created our firsts **NFT memberships**. We are honored to have been a part of Enrollmint’s app development and to be the first cultural organization in Portugal with NFT membership. Please, see more details [here](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-near-hub-at-arroz-estudios/16167). ![photo1653504810 (1)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/c/9/c94887f8a15a599a140b409af7aca50c60905cb2.jpeg) ![photo1653501210 (1)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/b/9/b961615b07cffa5c096a122d1a11772076eb5c47.jpeg) ![photo1653499005](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/c/4/c4ed02cb3033b6054474e29eb25f15412c447ae4.jpeg) The opening of the 2022 **@BlackCatCinema** has been a runaway success: all four events were sold out, days in advance and attracted an audience of **327**. The NFT ticket platform began operating on May 24th, and, after two events, sold a total of **20 NFT tickets** , via Mintickt platform (through Mintbase). Please, see more details [here](http://gov.near.org/t/report-black-cat-cinema-dao-monthly-report-may/22275). ![bcc2](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/8/9/89fcf4d50fc57113f63049c949527fbb057ac11a.jpeg) ![bcc](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/6/c/6c5617ab4b296963b480b627bca750ee91c56f6f.jpeg) We used part of the **wallets creation, pizza & drinks** fund in the process of integrating Arroz Estúdios visitors. During our _Shillin’ n’ Chillin_ meet-ups, we created **10 NEAR wallets** and transferred **18.33 NEAR tokens** to buy pizza & drinks. Through the experiences of the past few months, we will adjust our onboarding strategy this June to strengthen the numbers of NEAR wallets created. Please, see the details [here](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-near-wallets-creation-and-pizza-drinks-cost-for-one-month-of-crypto-meetups/19809). ![photo1651087404](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/b/5/b556c188252135d9c31ef69e781eb1b78ecc28f1.jpeg) One of our priorities is to integrate into the blockchain our IRL feature of being an artistic space that provides a safe environment for creatives to work and express themselves freely. Through the _Planting A.I.R - Artists in Residence_ program, we welcomed @Coletivo.Linha, during the launch of their new Zine, entitled **Cabra Cega** - a magazine-like gallery where artists were invited to show their work, filling the pages with drawings, performances, sculptures, musical ensembles, and other artistic expressions. Please, see the details about _Cabra Cega_ printing process [here.](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-linha-s-first-issue-cabra-cega-may-2022/20249) ![IMG_20220601_010654](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/f/1/f165d1ee3634b2b3ce40cc404df3f8f34d0e25bc.jpeg) In time: **West Coast NEAR** was held at the old Trafaria casino, on May 14th (as proposed by @K4PP4), during which 8 NEAR wallets were created, along with an introductory workshop on NEAR, DAO and NFTs for artists and enthusiasts from the local hip hop scene. ![photo1652569145](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/8/8/88b9a5903389dd9f999bf0683d2510c079146676.jpeg) We are also very happy that the @plantasia **streaming workshop for Arroz residents** will be part of the _Shillin ‘n’ Chillin Pride Week Special_, on June 22th. Therefore, it will not only attract a larger audience, but will also provide a valuable hands-on experience. Please, see this update [here](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-streaming-support-for-arroz-residents/18222/6). Thank you for the hard work, Creatives. Stay creative! Be happy! Arroz Team ---
