Good Afternoon!
I built two lovely shops to go next to my Stand Up Comedy Club/theater. It's to encourage women artists. I would like to do the same with the shops.
Would someone like to tell me how to rent the shops and what would be an excellent price/prims to encourage talented women artists. I'd like to be very fair and helpfu. Not interested in escorts or casinos or the like.
I'd appreciate any education, talented people or rental programs that are available.
thank you for your thoughts,
Kateye Oh

This may sound totally wild, but it's the answer that seems right to me. If you wish to encourage artists, be prepared to pay the rent for them until they are successful. Taking money for prims means you are essentially taking money in exchange for creative control. Yet, you wish to channel this creative control fairly tightly, via demographic (women only, talented only, and artists only). Seems more like a scholarship to me. The 'purist' route might involve free rent until said artists made enough to pay you back, which might be forever if it's a valid but not very saleable form of art (performance art, poetry &c). A more pragmatic approach might be this: charge exactly what you are charged for X prims. I.e. 512m yields 117 prims, and tier for that is X USD or Y $L when you do the math. Or if you have more land, use your tier discount and calculate from that. You can then apply a percent factor depending how generous you want to be to the artists: 50%, 75%, whatever you like. Hope this helps.
