So, as luck would have it, while thinking about this, I found a reference to a "QuiltCon" that will be happening soon, while I was reading my feed on Facebook.
http://www.quiltcon.com/conference/pricing-policies-and-rules/ Here is how they seem to have worked out paying the instructors as well as keeping the Con affordable for those who don't have a lot of money: *Admission Costs*: Lecture pass: grants admission to the lecture hall Show pass: grants admission to the vender hall and quilt show Workshops: purchased a la carte * Lecture Passes:* - Four-Day Lecture Pass $199 includes a four-day show pass - Thursday, February 21 Lecture Pass $50 includes a day show pass - Friday, February 22 Lecture Pass $90 includes a day show pass - Saturday, February 23 Lecture Pass $90 includes a day show pass - Sunday, February 24 Lecture Pass $50 includes a day show pass *Workshops:* - Full-day Workshop $150 includes a day show pass - Half-day Workshop $75 includes a day show pass *Show Passes:* - Four-day Show Pass $30 - Day Show Pass $10 *Spend $179 or more and get a free 4-day show pass.* *Spend $399 or more and get a free 4-day show pass and a goodie bag.* I don't know how well this works, but it does go along with the "Tier" levels I mentioned some SciFi Cons doing in a different email. As an art convention, this shows a way to be able to pay the teachers, while still making it semi-affordable for the person who can't raise $500 plus travel expenses, food, and lodging for a few days.
