# Web3 Uncut #1 *New b3ginnings..* By [Web3 Uncut](https://paragraph.com/@web3uncut) · 2023-04-03 web3, ai art, creator economy --- First issue! Im Natalie (Nat to the homies). Welcome to the first issue of Web3 Uncut. Once a week, I'll be shipping out an issue featuring opportunities for creators and builders like me, my raw musings of Web3, and a smorgasbord of findings from the internets. About me: Community Builder x Cultural Producer living in Web3 247. I co-produce several festivals (Huellas Festival in Spain and GECS virtually and soon in Brazil) and projects as well as consult when time permits. A few years ago, I was also a social producer on the Emmy-nominated [Comedy Gives Back](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ObOgPyxSQ&t=3616s). My several years of work in Web3 have been rooted in equity, community building, education, social impact, arts & culture, and building culture on chain. Currently building a secret project around Universal Basic Income for creators in Web3 & beyond and co-cultivating DISRUPT, a traveling event series featuring Black & Brown creators + innovators and dope humans in Web3. I also advise and contribute to a bunch of communities and DAOs like artsect a 🔥 NFT gallery and community in London. I also consult and advise on a bunch of cool projects when time permits. If you have any opportunities or cool music to share, holla! **This Week's Opportunities:** 📌 **KODA Artist Residency** Deadline: April 30, 2023 Info + Apply: [https://www.kodalab.org/open-call-borders-boundaries KODA](https://www.kodalab.org/open-call-borders-boundariesKODA) offers an artist residency program for two mid-career, female-identifying and/or non-binary artists who create conceptual and socially engaged work.
