Company XV Dance seeks to democratize the relationship between artists, dance companies, and patrons. This model offers artists the chance to maintain a salary, while supplementing this income through web-monetized interactions with fans. Additionally, they can leverage the power of social media to bring fans into the Web Monetization ecosystem. Collectively, we believe this will increase the overall financial capacity of fans to support artists, convert casual content consumers to arts patrons, and encourage the evolving demographics of arts patronage.
