    I agree with your frustration and applaud you for trying to come up
    with another solution. That said, I wonder if the reason that shows
    charge $375, rather than 10% of show income is that show income is
    not very dependable. 

    Secondly, it could take a while for the word of your group to get to
    the participants who would be excited by it. 

    Finally 100 artists and 20 shows seems like a whole lot.  In parts of
    the country outdoor shows can't start until May and end in October.
    That's almost a show a week. 

    Some artists may not want to do so many shows. How would that be
    handled? Do they need to pay for the shows they missed? 

    And if the season is "extended" by going indoors, well, I don't know
    many venues that can accommodate 100 booths. The indoor costs could
    get pretty high. 

    I have seen artist's groups with websites on the internet. I wonder
    if this would be a good place to start.  Perhaps the overhead would
    be less.
