[PROPOSAL] Atropa Beladona - Arroz Criativo x Gruta DAO / Radio Ophelia DAO / A Bela Associação

Hi, now it gets (sur)real! We present our first proposal as a DAO to the CreativesDAO, to begin our collaboration with the NEAR Ecosystem and other DAOs, our big community of artists and huge Web 3.0 possibilities. In 2019 Gruta and A Bela Associação created an massive event called “Atropa Beladona” named after the psychedelic and mysterious plant. We used that name with a play of words to create a movement and collaboration between the non-profit associations/cooperatives in the Lisbon Metro…

Reports:

• We were able to represent a plentitude of artists ranging from different art styles and backgrounds, from music, plastic arts, engineering, digital art, installations, performances and much more.
  
  

  

• Arroz Estúdios was transformed to a immersive and wonderful space with the instalations and decor done specificly for the event. Photos following below.
  
  

  

• NEAR Protocol Web 3.0 Components experimented with:

  • NEAR Wallets Creation for artists and general audience.
    
    

    
    • atropabeladona.near - Wallet Managing the Event
    • acarteirista.near - Visual Artist
    • kadaver.near - Musician playing in Event
    • diogojmsimoes.near - Audience
    • plugact.near - Audience
    • mee_k.near - Musician playing in Event
    • abelaassociacao.near - Onboarded Association
    • There were more wallets used at the event that artists had already created and were using.

• Live Broadcast from Radio Ophelia DAO of all the event, while doing live introductions to everything happening.

• NEAR Ecosystem Presentation done by @parisinocencio to event participants.

• NFTs Minted (Gruta, A Carteirista and Teresa) and exhibited live during the event.
  
  

  

• Store Created in Mintbase for showcasing our artists NFT’s
  
  

  

• Atropa Beladona 3XR Gallery using CreateThing Feature containing the NFTs from this event.
  
  

  

Budget:

• Transaction → Gruta DAO Funding recieved from NEAR Foundation. (April 20, 2022 → 15$ = 1 $NEAR)

• Transaction → Arroz Criativo DAO sent their part of the Funding. (May 06, 2022 → 10$ ~ 1 $NEAR )

• Transaction → DAO Payout to pay the production costs and the artists. We delayed the payments a bit because we were waiting of the rest of funding from Arroz Criativo. → (May 09, 2022 → 10$ ~ 1 $NEAR)

The volatile months and price decrease, everyone wanted their payments converted already, if we didn’t had payed this way we would have lost more then 60% of the value everyone and gaining untrust from the community.

We had around a 30-40% decrease in the budget available to pay for this event, we used a few of the funds left in our DAO to compensate for this and lowered the amount payed for every artists and the production costs, but we lost the funds we were trying to save from the DAOcubator program we were gonna use for other needs and was accounted for.

We will fix this next time by paying in USN Stablecoin.

Final Summary

This is the report for our Atropa Beladona event, we think still it was a quite successful event, in terms of buildup, planning on how to use Web 3.0 concepts to onboard participants and the and general attendees.

Beside the hiccup with the budget we still had a lot of successful connections and want to make this network of multiculturally and multidisciplinary associations grow and make the possiblities to use this technology to open up transparency, decentralization, communities and circular economics.
