I found a better use for funds, than the Artist Referral Program -- it's an ETH Collector attractor program.
These are cool ideas, but they aren't complete, or sustainable.
The DAO needs to be used either as a bounty to incentivize Art Project Incubation, or Promotion:
Art Project Incubation:
Means creating a successful project:
Ideally this would be governed by the people who purchase NFTs on NFTShowroom, so purchasing NFTs also gives you governance clout over distribution of art grand funds. [Governance Token / System?]
Art Grants are sustained by percentage of sales going toward DAO.
Working within Opensea and using wHIVE, you can also attribute a portion of sales toward DAO on Colony.io.

wHIVE Promotion:
In the example where we have billboards all over Cryptovoxels, we have a hunt, where people can win wHIVE if they screenshot capture and have an NFT that they want to buy on Opensea announced in a tweet.
The idea is that we give away the wHIVE to ETH Collectors, who then buy ETH NFTs with wHIVE on Opensea.
Or, they could use https://www.whive.network/ and buy NFTs on NFTShowroom using this approach.
Technically, they could just dump it, but that's always a risk.

Take 10% of all sales, and transmute them into these integrated marketing mechanisms for attracting ETH Collectors, and seeding contests / bounty challenges to train HIVE artists to become better artists and project executors.
Open to discussion.
