The MOXE Ecosystem

The MOXE Ecosystem - How It All Works Together

The MOXE Initiative - The funding umbrella that supports artists through seasonal grants, partnerships with 501c3 CAI, and multiple revenue streams.

The MOXE Creator's Fund - Direct fiscal support through yearlong fellowships and unrestricted artist grants, specifically targeting underrepresented talents. Partners with organizations like The Recording Academy and John Prine Foundation. Artists contribute 2 hours of volunteer time that becomes sellable services to sustain the fund.

Made with MOXE - The creative production ecosystem featuring solutions from incubator/accelerator programs, to label services - all designed as a non-exploitative alternative to traditional music industry structures.

MOXE Studio/Space - The physical Nashville hub where time is held on the Recording Studio and House exclusively for the season's artists fellows for recording, residencies, workshops, and community events happen.

MOXE Music Club - The membership program with tiered access (Digital/Analog/Combo) that provides some recurring revenue to fund the entire ecosystem.

The Flow:

Music Club memberships + sponsors + donors fund Initiative grants and Creator's Fund → Artists create through Made with MOXE programs → Work gets recorded at MOXE Space → Artists give back volunteer time that generates more revenue → More great music attracts more community support.

Core Mission:

Core Mission: Supporting artists holistically (creatively, mentally, financially) in a sustainable, community-driven ecosystem that honors the "essential self" and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration.

Creating sustainable "eddies in the river" - held spaces for innate creativity that don't exist in traditional industry structures unless created intentionally, supporting artists holistically while building community wealth.

What Makes This Different:

  • Seasonal Selection Process: Artists nominate peers for grants (like a graduating class)

  • Holistic Support: Not just funding, but mentorship, mental health resources, and community

  • Non-Exploitative: Alternative to traditional music industry extraction models

  • Community-Driven: Fans directly support the artists they love through their memberships and more

  • Sustainable Cycle: Each component feeds back into supporting more artists

Current Focus:

  • Building MOXE Music Club membership platform
