Sorry didn't reply sooner, I am new at forum participation. The artist/musician in residence program is designed to assist new performers in SL with their appearance, promotional materials development, and limited technical advice. There is no salary associated with the residency. A stream is provided in the Tranquil Cafe, which has been open for three months, for the musicians in the program to practice their art and form a SL identity. I do not claim to be an expert in SL music arena but am becoming an expert on accessing resources. Please spread the word.

I recently finished my tenure as artist in residence. Ya don't get paid, but it's a regular schedule you can set yourself. Also, since you've got access to the stream you could play as much as you like. I learned how to enter my own event listings. Brianna is a cool girl and and Tranquil is a cool place.
