Become a Patron of IAH

Patrons help activate art
and get access to the world where it’s made.

Patron membership is for people who believe art should be made — not just talked about.

International Artist Habitat (IAH) brings artists, writers, and producers together in focused creative environments where real work gets finished.

Becoming a Patron means helping activate that process — supporting artist development, cultural exchange, and the creation of new music — while aligning your name (or brand) with a program built by music industry professionals.

Patron Tier

IAH Recording Club: Benalto Sound
Patron Membership

$5,000 / year

The Patron tier is the backer-level membership of IAH Recording Club at Benalto Sound.

It is designed for individuals, companies, and partners who want to help put artists in the studio and be part of the creative community that forms around the work.

Patrons activate real studio time, support the creation of new music, and participate in the evolving network of artists, collaborators, and cultural builders connected through IAH.

Art doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens when someone decides to support the conditions that make it possible.

Core Benefit: Artist Habitat

Your Patron Membership Includes:
One 5-Night IAH-Led Artist Habitat at Benalto Sound
A 5-night stay at Benalto Sound for focused creative work—writing, recording, or developing your next project. During onboarding, IAH will work with the Patron and artist (if applicable) to design a residency for their needs. All Patron memberships include daily on-site support from an IAH producer or recording engineer.
Invitation to the Production Camp-Out Weekend
A community gathering of artists, producers, and collaborators for live music, connection, and creative exchange. The invitation extends to the Patron member, and the sponsored artist, where applicable.
release guru Pro access + A&R support
A full year of release guru Pro, plus a dedicated 1-on-1 A&R session for personalized feedback and guidance. If the Patron membership is being used to sponsor an artist, both the Patron and artist receive Pro access.
Optional public recognition
Be acknowledged as a Backer through artist social media and website content, IAH social media and website features, and select project or release credits. Or, remain private. Your level of visibility is up to you.

Option A — Use it for your own project

Book the 5-night IAH-Led Artist Habitat for you or your team as a focused creative stay.

Option B — Activate an Artist Habitat (5 days) for an emerging artist

Activate your included 5-night IAH-Led Artist Habitat for an emerging artist, coordinated and supported by IAH.

You do not need to decide at checkout. Your choice and scheduling are confirmed during onboarding.

Production Camp-Out Weekend

Where the recording club community comes together.

IAH Recording Club is a one-year membership for individual artists, writers, and producers. Each year, members of Recording Club gather at Benalto Sound for the Production Camp-Out Weekend. A relaxed creative gathering built around music, conversation, and collaboration.

Artists, producers, collaborators, and patrons spend the weekend sharing songs, exploring ideas, and connecting around the work.

It’s a moment to step inside the creative process and experience the community that Recording Club is building.

Why patronage still matters.

Behind every “overnight success” is infrastructure: space, time, collaborators, and the conditions to finish the work.

Patronage helps build that infrastructure so artists can move from idea to completion.

Your support helps IAH:
Keep professional creative space accessible to emerging and developing artists
Sustain Benalto Sound as a working studio and residency space
Expand programming around real collaboration, not surface-level networking
Build continuity, so projects actually move forward
