SHOULD WE APPROVE ‘Sake and a Dream’? (COMMUNITY PROPOSAL BY @dgtlemissions)

Executive Summary

Bobu is more than a humble bean farmer—he’s a beloved figure at the crossroads of anime and artistry, ready to claim his moment in the modern art world.

Titled Sake and a Dream, this initiative envisions a physical art exhibition in NYC that celebrates Bobu’s vibrant lore through commissioned works by both Garden and traditional artists. Through this event, Bobu’s story will extend beyond the blockchain, offering audiences a multi-dimensional experience that bridges Web3 innovation and traditional artistry.

This is a unique opportunity to elevate Bobu’s cultural legacy while fostering connections among art collectors, anime fans, and web3 enthusiasts.

This project aims to:

• Curate a gallery exhibition featuring artworks that uniquely interpret Bobu’s rich lore and decentralized spirit.
• Support artists by commissioning physical and digital works and helping them connect with new collector audiences.
• Amplify Bobu’s presence through PR campaigns that engage both crypto-native and art-focused communities.
• Cultivate a creative ecosystem by connecting traditional and digital art collectors and creators.
• Develop artworks embedded with Physical Backed Tokens (PBT) for seamless ownership verification and blockchain integration.
• Foster inclusivity by showcasing art accessible to global audiences through an in-person exhibition and an online gallery.
• Establish a low cost financial structure that returns money to the treasury with each sale of an artwork and facilitates a forward looking self-sustained, repeatable model

What’s included in this proposal:

• Exhibition Production: A physical exhibition in NYC featuring five established gallery artists, five celebrated digital artists, and one special AI-generated composition.
• Opening Reception: An RSVP-only event with curated artwork, Bobu community products, and live experiences that immerse guests in Bobu’s narrative.
• Artwork Sales: Physical and digital artworks available for purchase, with all proceeds supporting artists and the Bobu treasury.
  • Physical works will integrate Azuki’s PBT protocol for blockchain-backed ownership. Select digital artworks will also be available as mints.
• Global Accessibility: A virtual gallery accessible worldwide, ensuring fans who can’t attend in person can still engage with Bobu’s story.
• Budget: Including total costs, estimated net costs and projected revenue from art sales.
• Project Objectives, Goals and Target Market details
• Participating artist list and profile information

Marketing and Awareness

• Social Media Campaigns: Leverage artist, gallery, and community networks to share behind-the-scenes content, sneak peeks, and event highlights.
• Press Coverage: Secure media placement in prominent art and NFT-focused publications like Hypeart, NFT Now, and Artnet.
• Video Documentation: Capture and share the exhibition’s essence with fans across platforms like X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Why vote yes?

By voting yes, you’ll champion a milestone for Bobu’s cultural legacy—bringing together Web3, anime, and modern art into a singular, immersive experience. This proposal not only supports artists and strengthens Bobu’s community but also sets a precedent for how decentralized IP can thrive in the real world.

Together, let’s transform Sake and a Dream into reality.

What should we, all the Bobus, do?
