MINY Residency — Artist Recruitment System

Purpose: Turn every city visit into an automatic artist pipeline. The goal is not just meeting artists—it's capturing them into a structured funnel.

1. The Funnel Architecture

Think of it as a 4-stage pipeline.

Flow:

Artist hears about program
↓

↓

↓
builds 1000 subscribers

2. The Artist Application Form

This should take under 3 minutes to complete.

Instead of rejecting artists, give them a growth mission.
