Summary:

We’d like to support nounish art by giving emerging and promising artists an online residency for one month each. A lot of talent is floating around the space, and we’d like to offer them easy access into the Nouns ecosystem. There’ll be the opportunity to submit proposals to the Art Reef Committee via the Creator Contest Tool. Our jury will pick the best entries in order to equip each of them with a budget. Our focus lays on projects which proliferate Nouns as an inclusive brand, such as the following example project by ChrisCoCreated, the founder of NounProfiles:

Pride Noggles ⌐[🏳️‍🌈]-[🏳️‍🌈]

A Noggles based generative art piece. Free mint on Tezos. ReMixing Noggles, and playing with colours around the pride flag as a Nounish inclusive symbol. There will be three generative art drops, each playing with a different graphic element. Supply will be massive (1m). Mint will last three days and unclaimed tokens will be burnt.

We will fund a minimum of 5 artists with 1 or 2 ETH each, depending on the project’s scale. SharkDAO onboards the artists into the Nouns ecosystem (if they’re not yet a part of it), helps them with creating custom contracts for their projects, and supports them with their marketing. We’re also going to collect one artwork of each edition, showcasing it in our art collection.
