Any artist coming from abroad to perform in the U.S. needs a visa, and every visa petition needs a petitioner. Ariel Artists has served in the role of agent artist visa petitioner for dozens of performing artists and creative professionals, ranging from musicians to production coordinators. The presence of a petitioner allows those hiring artistic services in the U.S., or those managing it from abroad, to have a trusted party filing the necessary documents in close collaboration with the experienced artist-specific legal services of Immigration Law Office of Rey Hulme. The function of an agent petitioner is two-fold:

• Firstly, as envisaged by the immigration authorities, it is "authorized by the employer(s) to act in place of the employer(s) as its agent" for the limited purpose of filing a single petition on behalf of all the entities looking to make use of artistic services.
• Secondly, it serves as the official point of contact for the immigration authorities to correspond with regarding the case, including receiving, and responding to, notices and requests. In doing so, Ariel Artists only works with attorneys that have a proven track record in artist visa cases and provide reliable and cost-effective services.

Welcome to an era of constant large-scale instability, from global pandemics, political upheaval, climate crises, social isolation, and new heights (and depths) of economic inequality. So you want to build a career for yourself? A linear external trajectory is not going to apply, now more than ever before. However, there IS a "linear" internal trajectory which tracks to the external world, and it begins with daily practice, striving for excellence in each minute, an orientation toward gratitude, intentionality, rigorously cultivating knowledge, choosing your community, and keeping your "receptors open" to signals, people, and opportunities that reveal themselves in your life. Oni Buchanan — founder and director of Ariel Artists, Co-Founder and CEO of the tech company ImmerSphere, interdisciplinary producer, concert pianist, and award-winning poet — offers a "Receptors Open" career and entrepreneurship seminar which can include an array of lectures, encounter sessions, and 1x1 deep dives that match the needs of your convening, from class-size to conference.

Artists, artist managers, and concert presenters — i.e. every business constituency of the Performing Arts sector — face mid-21st-century challenges while trapped in an obsolete mid-20th-century business model. While the top 1% of celebrity artists continue to thrive, the economic negotiations of the other 99% have degraded to exchanging favors, imploring mercy, invoking passion to excuse nonpayment, and generally trafficking in an unsustainable ratio of martyrdom to "opportunity." Join Oni Buchanan — whose companies straddle artist management, emerging tech, and the creator economy's virtual and real-world interface — to explore both realigned business models that connect the performing arts with a diverse range of outside sectors, as well as new business opportunities and authentic yet monetizable engagement opportunities created by interactive emerging technologies. There is a world where the denizens of the Performing Arts can have economically sustainable lives, pursue excellence, and uplift, empower, and expand their communities of fans, aspirants, and attendees — and it will require that we collectively take the reins of emerging opportunities and infuse them with the co-creative and humanistic priorities of the arts. Oni offers an exploration of these topics in both presentation and workshop formats, customized to the needs of your organization.
