Creating social change through art and emerging technology.
No shock, right? Women have historically had unequal access to bank accounts, investment money, and equal pay. But women and gender expansive folk deserve and need safe spaces to socialize and grow their communities. That’s where Queer Koalas come in.
Our goal is to sell the entire 10,000 collection of unique Queer Koalas in order to fund a lesbian bar and cafe in Los Angeles, where ALL ARE WELCOME AND FEEL SAFE.
A cafe by day and bar by night that centers women and the LGBTQ community, creating safety and inclusion for all and ensuring that no-one is excluded on the basis of financial means. A space that promotes empowerment and connection that goes beyond drinking and hookups.
Create and sell out the entire 10,000 NFT collection. Sale starts 5/22/2024
Use the profits to open up a lesbian bar and cafe in approximately 6 months.
Leverage Queer Koalas to diversify queer cartoon and film intellectual properties.
In case the collection does not sell out within a year, a public vote will determine the destination for the profits.
NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens are a kind of cryptocurrency that represents a one-of-a-kind digital asset or unique piece of artwork. Every NFT contains a digital signature which makes each one unique. For the purpose of our project it is an established way of selling a large amount of art assets to generate a large enough sum of money to open up a bar and cafe in Los Angeles, CA.
Choosing a platform that is environmentally friendly is of the upmost importance, therefore we have decided on Solana. Each Solana transaction uses about the same energy as a few Google searches. Solana’s proof of stake network and other innovations minimize its impact on the environment.

We are proud to be working with The Queer 26 to accept non profit donations. This partnership amplifies the message at the core of the Queer Koalas—that community and collaboration are key for advancing social and political statuses of historically oppressed groups, and for creating a more equitable future for all.
All Queer Koala nfts will have a 6 second unique animated video by Kelly Perez. The animations will become more elaborate for Rare and Super Rare characters.
