Our Gift Shop  

Our gift shop stands to generate income that covers the platform's expenses and funds all community events. It ensures that artists and visitors can enjoy events without any cost to participation. In a display of transparency, 100% of the revenue generated is dedicated to meeting community needs, with community members themselves voting on how to allocate these funds. While the gift shop currently showcases and sells artwork created by the group's founders, it welcomes contributions from artists wishing to support the idea.
