Please describe your proposed solution.

The increase and demand for higher costs of NFTs and participation creates a barrier to entry

As an artist and project creator, I have the ability to endlessly create or think of as many different ways to introduce people into the Cardano ecosystem and have already collaborated with over 100 projects on Cardano alone.

Creating a smaller barrier to entry with NFT's, events, donations, giveaways, and competitions will help bring more financially lower class people into the ecosystem

I will aim to bring in new people and help the current members of Cardano participate in projects that they may not have known about, or not been able to afford the mint.

Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

By creating a friendly environment with a low to no cost of entry point, people within and outside of the Cardano ecosystem have an opportunity to learn, and participate.

Hosting live events and streamed events that showcase projects on Cardano and how other artists can be on-boarded, or community members can participate.

What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Due to the fickle nature of creativity, speed could be a potential hindrance. I am asking for a portion of the funding to go directly towards purchasing a Wacom tablet so that I can mitigate some of the steps required at this stage to produce my artwork.

Setting up venues is challenging to get timing and a performance that draws a crowd, to help ensure that it will have enough publicity, marketing will take place well in advance utilizing NFTmakerpro's FIAT onboarding for purchasing NFT's required for admission. Technical issues may occur from the venue owners side.

Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

Beginning in July I will look for local musicians and a venue to host, I will also continue creating more characters and NFTs to help on-board and introduce more people to Cardano.

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

3000 For a tablet to speed up NFT and art output.

3500 for rent and bills/food to create and perform full time

500 for Travel expenses

2600 to rent a venue and pay local artists to perform

400 for miscellaneous

2500 paid help (volunteers or developers)

2500 to purchase non blue chip NFTs and help with exposure of more projects

Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

I am Mosie and have been an artist and project creator on the Cardano blockchain for a year. In order to help achieve this goal, I will look for volunteers to help organize and continue to create on a daily basis until the first event is complete. Then I will assemble Team F.U.N.

If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

No, I am using this as a start-up to help facilitate the things I am already doing within the Cardano community.

Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

I will have a public wallet to showcase all transactions, and will have a bi-weekly check in until the first event has occurred. After that, the wallet will remain public, but I will reduce the check in to monthly. I will continue with public check ups and joining twitter spaces to keep informing the masses.

What does success for this project look like?

Success for this project is the inclusion of more people from different walks of life into the Cardano ecosystem. To host a live musical event dedicated to introducing people to the Cardano network and creating unique NFTs for the event, that will help inform and spread awareness of the many great things being built on the Cardano network.

Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

This is my first ever proposal.
