# Lil Nounsweek : Onboard 10 Indonesian Artist through Bootcamp and Art Exhibition to Lil Nouns
# Overview
- We propose **Lil Nounsweek**, a two-day event designed to **onboard 10 artists** into the Lil Nouns ecosystem.
- The program will include an **art contest**, an **offline bootcamp**, and a curated **art exhibition**.
- Lil Nounsweek will take place on **March 28–29, 2026.**
- The expected outcomes include **10 original Lil Nounish artworks** created by **10 artists**, a deeper understanding of the Lil Nouns ecosystem, and ongoing contributions to the DAO through sustainable artistic initiatives and future collaborative projects.
- To bring this initiative to life, we are requesting **$5,900 USDC** in funding.
# Why Lil Nounsweek?
- Our previous activation in 2024 through **[Nounsweek](https://www.instagram.com/nounsweek/)** in Bali successfully created lasting engagement: 5 out of the 10 finalist artists are still actively contributing to Nouns today — Mindtoasted, Deguma, 0xapril, Mukhlis Absart, and Printilun.
- Building on this experience, we aim to develop Lil Nounsweek into a flagship event for Indonesian artists entering the Lil Nouns ecosystem.
- This event will help energize the DAO through several key activations:
- Increased social media presence and discussion around Lil Nouns art through the art contest.
- A dedicated offline bootcamp for artists focused on understanding and engaging with the Lil Nouns ecosystem.
- A curated art exhibition showcasing Lil Nounish artworks in a conventional gallery setting.
# Activity Details
- **Lil Nouns Art Contest**
- A Lil Nouns–themed art contest will be hosted on Instagram through the Nounsweek account, with a total prize pool of $1,000 USDC.
- Submitted artworks must be in portrait format (1080 × 1920 px). Participants are required to post their work on Instagram, tag Nounsweek and Lil Nouns, and use the hashtag #LilNounsweek.
- From all submissions, 10 outstanding artworks will be selected to participate in the offline bootcamp and art exhibition.
- Winners will be selected by a curatorial team consisting of [0xishal](https://x.com/0xishal), [Nadiecito](https://farcaster.xyz/nadiecito.eth), [Mindtoasted](https://farcaster.xyz/mindtoasted.eth)
- **Offline Bootcamp**
- The 10 selected winners will attend an offline bootcamp in Yogyakarta, Indonesia on March 28–29, 2026.
- The program will cover Web3 fundamentals, DAO introduction, Lil Nouns and Nouns ecosystem insights, participation pathways, and funding mechanisms for artists.
- The bootcamp will also include light team-building activities to strengthen collaboration and align the artists’ shared vision.
- Travel and accommodation costs for all selected artists will be fully covered by the DAO as an additional non-monetary benefit.
- **Art Exhibition at [LAV Gallery](https://www.instagram.com/lavg_gallery/)**
- [LAV Gallery ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vascHDNaqExUwhUj9)is a respected contemporary art space with institutional collaborations, including **Universitas Negeri Solo** and **Chiba University**, and exhibitions featuring artists such as [Jatti Adji](https://indoartnow.com/artists/jatti-adji) and [Alodia Yap](https://www.instagram.com/alodiayap/), making it a strategic venue to expand Lil Nouns’ cultural presence.
- The 10 finalist artworks from the contest, along with additional Lil Nounish pieces, will be exhibited at LAV Gallery for one week.
