q&a
-how can I become a member? GRID membership and showcases are for Austin-based bands only who are already actively gigging bands. To become a member come to a showcase or to one of our member's shows and talk to the artists. You can also email me.
-how can members use the GRID logo? Members can use our logo however they want for GRID for non-GRID shows at their discretion, BUT we do ask that if not all acts are GRID members that members indicate themselves as a GRID member by placing AMG in small text somewhere by their act name. If you don't want to use our logo but still want to refer to us, you can either modify our logo or type our name or website in text.
-how are artist payments handled for paid shows? When we organize showcases there are no artist fees for the booking and promotion we provide. When income is received from a showcase all artists are always paid the profit in even disbursement. The better the showcase does the more money the performers get (please note this is only applicable for paid showcases and is not applicable in the instance of free showcases where the GRID and involved artists agree in advance to donate their services to a venue or event organizer for free).
-what are the GRID's expenses? GRID expenses for a paid show can include some or all of the following depending on the venue - advertising, promotions, sound and lighting reinforcement, sound and lighting crew, and additional entertainment such as dancers. For paid shows, artists are always disclosed the information in advance what expenses the GRID expects to cover for itself if any.
-can I request a disclosure of the GRID's expense history? GRID Members and interested parties are eligible to request a full disclosure of the GRID's income and expense history at any time, which documents the GRID's strict adherence to covering its overhead only.
