Earnings are directly tied to revenue, which is distributed to cover artist payments, gig insurance, and the Curator payments. Actual earnings may vary depending on factors such as show volume and total revenue. Curators are also eligible for sponsorship commissions for any sponsorships they sell, and may receive coordination fees for their assistance executing any partnerships sold by the global team.
