Looking forward to seeing these posters, such a solid roster of artists.
⌐◨-◨🙏
we object to the last minute modification of this proposal effectively doubling costs by making financing dilutive rather than accretive.
that said we believe vectorDAO to be a value add partner and are excited to have them as a part of the community.
Given time constraints for this event, we choose to give VectorDAO the benefit of the doubt that they will find a way to add more value in the future, and will be vetting future proposals from them with that in mind.
All for bringing new artistic voices to the nounverse. Also fan of building a closer relationship with VectorDAO through noun ownership. win-win
✅ some of the funds being returned to acquire a Noun ✅ proliferating the Noun meme by proxy of a highly visible event ✅ supporting talented artists with the remaining proceeds that aren't used to funnel money back into the treasury
I am looking forward to seeing this proposal getting put to work.
First time voter, long time builder.
I like that some of the funds will be used to buying a Noun, therefore adding another group of people to the ecosystem. I also like to see artists get paid and am impressed with the lineup. Excited to see this happen and I hope the photos of the posters hanging up and the art images themselves will be available for others to use across other Nounish sites, if appropriate. Lastly, I’m glad that this is just fun. Definitely helps with spreading the meme and I like that Nouns can be associated with both high-quality art & having fun.
fun, interesting, and nft-native proposal that takes advantage of CC0, funds talented artists and furthers nounsdao awareness among top tier creatives. more like this please!
If executed properly (which it seems like this team can do), this should be a great way to bring multiple different artist communities into the fold of nouns. I would like to make sure there is transparency in the final capital allocation to the artists though, which I’m sure this team will provide. Really looking forward to the treasure hunt.
Nouns ℅ Vector DAO Proposal
Vector DAO will commission 8 artists in our community to design a series of unique Nouns artworks and print them on 200+ extra-large (6ft high!) wheatpaste posters around New York City for NFT NYC. Each unique poster design will be posted in a grid of 8 (all 8 posters will be the same artwork), with different designs being posted in their own grid of 8 across different locations, creating a scavenger like hunt to collect all 8 artworks.
Each poster will have a QR code that will allow individuals to mint 1 of 150 limited editions of each artwork. There will be 1,200 total mints at a price of 0.15 ETH each. All primary and secondary sales will go to the Vector DAO treasury to be used to purchase a Noun, replenishing the Nouns treasury. Any remaining ETH post Nouns acquisition will be split among the artists and team. As a stretch goal, we will try to support having the first 25 mints of each artwork be free, allowing this drop to be accessible to more people – this will depend on our ability to find an elegant sybil resistant solution in time.
Vector will provide photographers to take photos of all the posters to share on social to boost visibility (blurring out the QR code) as well as write an article about our collaboration experience with Nouns DAO to help future creators make proposals.

(Similar concept for Art Basel in 2021)
We’re commissioning 8 artists with distinct styles to create a series of posters remixing Nouns, showcasing each artist’s unique styles and perspectives (illustration, 3D, typography, color, etc). To create a consistent visual motif across the posters, the artwork must feature a Nouns artifact, but interpreted however the artist sees fit. Vector will have these artworks printed on 200+ wheatpaste posters and posted around the NFT NYC conference in Times Square and in neighborhoods like Williamsburg and SoHo.
Each poster will have a QR code where viewers can mint 1 of 150 limited edition NFTs of that poster’s artwork. Each NFT edition will have a mint price of 0.15 ETH and be sold using the Zora Protocol.
We hope the end product not only propagates the Nouns brand and reflects the power of placing goods in the public domain, but also the power of individuals in forming digital communities like Vector to create across both digital and physical mediums.
Vector DAO is a collective of artists, designers, and developers in web3. Our mission is to give individuals autonomy over all aspects of their work from lifestyle and creative freedom to team and compensation. We believe in a future where creatives and makers aren’t tied to any one employer but can freely contribute to communities, like Nouns, that excites them. We believe in the power of working independently, together. That means members run their own independent practices but share resources, risks, and opportunities as a community, working together in groups when projects call for it, or individually at other times. Over time, Vector hopes to prove this new model of working that other communities and builders can replicate, sustainably working for public goods and moving web3 forward.
