## Feria Nounish 2025 – Cali, Colombia 🇨🇴
### 1. Open Call & Community Building
The open call launched on **August 16** through [ferianounish.xyz](https://ferianounish.xyz) and the official social media channels ([Instagram](https://instagram.com/ferianounish), [Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/ferianounish), [X](https://x.com/Ferianounish)). Participants could apply as entrepreneurs, workshop hosts, or speakers, and were invited to propose Nounish-themed sticker designs, products, or activities inspired by Nouns and Noggles.
The call closed on **September 15** with **90 applications**. From this pool, **40 creative entrepreneurs** were selected: 23 with sticker proposals, 13 with product-based projects including art toys, candles, tattoos, prints, and merch, four with workshops, and one with a talk by [Platohedro](https://farcaster.xyz/platohedro). Food and beverage vendors included Choripanes, Fritanga Valluna, Café Gourmet, Cervezas Torremolinos, and Granizados BLVCK.
Participation in the fair was free. Selected applicants automatically received a booth for both days of the event. The curation balanced returning participants from earlier activations with new local artists discovered through the open call.

### 2. IRL Activations
The first activation was **Drink & Draw Nounish**, held at Cervezas Calima. Around twenty people joined this open drawing session focused on Nounish characters. Some of these participants later joined the fair as exhibitors.
The second activation was the **Artist Meetup**, which took place on **October 19** at Albahaca Terraza. It served as a coordination and onboarding session for the selected artists. During this meeting, the team shared logistical details, Base onboarding codes, and presented the progress of the **miniapp project** — a marketplace built collaboratively by [Gabriel Lago](https://farcaster.xyz/gabriellagomusic), Nadiecito, and Sweetman in vibecoding sessions.
The miniapp is a **whitelisted marketplace** for participating artists, where their exclusive pieces from the fair can be collected onchain. The long-term goal is to evolve it into a **Nounish marketplace** where artists can host and manage their own independent galleries.
The prototype can be visited at [ferianounish2025.vercel.app](https://ferianounish2025.vercel.app/).
Around **25 Base App codes** were distributed during this meetup, allowing artists to open their wallets and test the onboarding flow before the fair.

### 3. Space Design & Setup
The fair took place at **Casa de Mono**, which was completely transformed for the occasion.

### 7. Closing Notes
The **Nounish Fair 2025** consolidated a strong cultural link between Cali’s creative communities and the global Nouns ecosystem. It strengthened networks among local Web3 creators while introducing new participants to decentralized tools and collaborative cultural production.
During the two days of the fair (**November 1–2**), more than **100 wallets were opened** through Base App, and total crypto transactions and purchases exceeded **500 USD** across the different stands and artists.
Beyond the event itself, the fair left in place a connected community, a functional onboarding experience, and a working marketplace miniapp that continues to evolve.
Stay tuned to [Instagram](https://instagram.com/ferianounish) for documentation and updates about the fair, the miniapp, and future editions.
This project was supported by **Nouns DAO** through [Proposal #840](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/840).
