How does this initiative support Public Goods?

The 4 month, free to the public exhibition will showcase 30 incredible and diverse creators based in Colorado, all exploring the theme "Public Good".

"A commodity or service that is provided without profit to all members of a society, either by the government or a private individual or organization. The benefit or well-being of the public."

Artists are invited to imagine the future of public goods in a city; art spaces, public art, libraries, transportation, community gardens, co working, communal spaces, makerspaces, recreation centers, home life, education, and public goods that don't yet, but should exist in today's world.

How is it non-excludable?

The State Capitol and ETHDenver provided stipends to us to give selected artists a $300 honorarium. Arts and Venues recognized our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts and granted us to support the opening night event. We are intending to also do special programming during ETHDenver. The exhibit will be free and open to everyone.

How is it non-rivalrous?

IRL Art or Golden Triangle Art District won't keep a commission from this exhibitions' sales. Artists will choose a % of the sale to donate to our beneficiary; Big Green DAO. A non profit turned DAO that is radically democratizing and providing grants to organizations fighting food injustice.

Why does it need funding right now?

Our team is working out of pocket, because this is a high impact opportunity to support artists, a non profit, and further align the values of Web3 with the State of Colorado, touring school groups, and the public. Our team is not profiting to produce this exhibit.
