TLDR;

This proposal funds the sponsorship of the Farcaster Community Meetup in Paris on February 20, 2024, hosted at CØR studio rented from Superchief Gallery. The requested budget is 0.3 ETH. As the date of the meetup is too close, this proposal is suggested to be executed retroactively.

Description

The end of February in Paris is set to be a busy time for the web3 space, with two major events Bright Moments Paris (February 21-24) and NFT Paris (February 23-24). A lot of people are travelling to Paris these dates and with the increasing presence of art on Farcaster, it was decided to host a community meetup the day before these main events.

Initially expecting around 40 attendees, we now have 105 confirmed attendees a day before the event, with a venue capacity of 120 people. The meetup's general theme is centered around art and community vibes. To showcase Farcaster art, artists and collectors have been encouraged to submit their artworks for display on a digital screen in the gallery during the meetup. The playlist consists of community-submitted artworks, including a few Purple Season 2 tokens. The POAP for this meetup was created by French artist @pierrepauze.

Due to higher than anticipated demand, we are requesting additional funds to cover extra costs.

Entities currently involved:

• Bright Moments, which allocated initial funding through their community grants program (covering the location costs) + providing the artwork display tech during the event.
• Base, which is providing Based pizzas.

The meetup is hosted by @kugusha.eth with support from @pauline-unik, @pedrowww, and members of the Bright Moments team.

Budget

We propose a budget of 0.3 ETH to cover expenses for this event, including drinks (wine, beer, soft drinks) for attendees.

At today's exchange rate, 0.3 ETH is equivalent to 817 EUR. The expected number of attendees is 120.

Multisig

A new multisig wallet between @kugusha.eth, @henry, and @pauline-unik has been created for this proposal at the mainnet address: eth:0xf4bE55a8063BEbb5473ab958067dfD9e385CD07d.

The multisig members, who are the meetup organizers have agreed to approve/deny reimbursements on behalf of the DAO.
