black gold sun studios x riónce

march + april 2026 | a working proposal

over the past couple of weeks, annie and i have been discussing what feels possible, practical and fair for everyone involved. this page simply sets that out clearly.

the aim is not to complicate anything. the aim is to create stability during march & april 2026, define roles properly and test something that could grow into something long term - as if it works well, we can all win.

/// abbreviations ///

black gold sun studios = bgs

riónce arts club & studios = rac

  • this is a proposed two month trial between:

    annie, owner of black gold sun studios

    rhyiana, studio manager at bgs

    oleta, founder of riónce arts club

    for march and april 2026 only.

    nothing permanent is being agreed beyond that period.

  • /// 8 full days per month ///

    riónce to occupy 8 full days per month at a flat rate of £800, paid in advance.

    (£700:£100 split between annie & rhyianna)

    these days will be agreed and locked in at the start of each month so there is clarity on both sides.

  • on those 8 specific days only:

    riónce manages opening and closing

    riónce manages its own residents

    riónce ensures the studio is left clean and reset

    ryianna is not required to manage those days

    riónce takes responsibility for how the space is used on those allocated days.

    outside of those days, the studio runs exactly as it does now.

  • this will not run on hope. i will focus on building structured residencies into the studio through a mix of:

    converting existing warm leads already in my network

    placing current riónce residents who need dependable space

    reaching out to a small number of aligned cold leads

    speaking directly to creatives already booking adhoc who may benefit from monthly structure

    promoting the space across riónce arts club & studios platforms

    /// my focus will be on ///

    consistent monthly commitments, not one off bookings.

    /// ryianna continues to focus on ///

    adhoc and premium bookings

    separate lanes. shared growth.

    this is not about flooding the space randomly. it is about building a steady base and layering growth on top.

  • nothing changes.

    outside of riónce allocated days:

    ryianna manages adhoc bookings and packages

    annie remains owner

    the existing split remains

    non riónce bookings stay at:

    /// 60% annie ///

    /// 40% ryianna ///

    that structure is untouched.

  • if a booking comes directly through riónce, whether through our network or a resident, and it sits outside of the allocated days, the split is:

    /// 60% annie ///

    /// 30% rihanna ///

    /// 10% riónce ///

    this only applies to bookings clearly generated by riónce.

    all other bookings remain unchanged.

  • if ryianna refers someone into riónce residency:

    she receives 10% of that resident’s monthly residency fee

    this continues for as long as the resident remains active

    if riónce refers an adhoc booking:

    riónce receives 10% of that booking value

    the idea is simple. we support each other’s lanes instead of overlapping them.

what we are aiming to see after two months

16 full days activated across march & april 2026

✓ clearer separation between residency days and adhoc days

✓ more consistent studio activity during typically quieter months

✓ at least a few new adhoc bookings generated through collaboration

✓ a structure that feels workable rather than stressful

✓ a calm decision about what the next phase looks like

at the end of april 2026, we review properly.


what life after could look like

if this works, the long term structure becomes clearer.

✓ a consistent residency base bringing predictable monthly income

✓ rihanna focused fully on adhoc and premium bookings

✓ riónce focused on structured residencies

✓ shared referral income flowing both ways

✓ fewer empty days

✓ clearer growth rather than month to month survival

stability becomes normal. growth becomes strategic & intentional. we all win.

  • annie to reflect on whether this works for her & ryianna.

    if it works:

    confirm march 2026 dates

    confirm april 2026 dates

    confirm payment timing

    begin trial

    then we let the work speak.

    if unsure - we refine & try to figure out what might work better.
