Tony M: Note that your second bulleted example is in very poor EN and certainly not to be relied upon! / With added context, I don't think this is a 'curating' situation.

1 min

-> Right about the poor quality of the second bullet. What about the first?

agree

TechLawDC: curator's fee and curation fee are both good, in the context.

53 mins

-> Thank you!

disagree

AbrahamS: It's very unlikely that the word cachet would be used for the payment to a curator. It probably covers payment for the artists who will be involved in the event.

56 mins

-> "Curator who is to organise a cultural event".... this is where the money is to go according to the asker's text.

neutral

Nikki Scott-Despaigne: From your source, "curation fee" would appear to be specific to an Agreement with a musueum (or cultrual structure) where the Curator works. Probably not a good fit here. The C is not acting as a C for the event, but as an organizer.

57 mins

-> "Curator who is to organise a cultural event".... this is where the money is to go according to the asker's text.

disagree

writeaway: definitely not in this context.

Daryo: ways too narrow - would apply only to a tiny minority of real life situations ... no reason to assume that this one of them!

Nikki Scott-Despaigne: I'd expect "cachet" alone for "artist's fee". Either "frais de" is redundant or there are fees attached to the payment of the artist. In any event "artist's/-ts' fee" avoids the problem with effectiveness.

38 mins

-> thanks Nikki. I guess "frais" is used in the sense of cost. Quite often in France you'll find "frais" used this way like in "frais de bouche", frais de transport".

philgoddard: You haven't given any references.

-> sorry being French I didn't realise it could be an issue. See my notes I have added 3 examples. Google will give thousands.

agree

Daryo: or "performers' fees"

7 hrs

-> Thanks Daryo, as a matter of fact I wasn't sure there wasn't a better expression. I knew this one was good enough but as for the most appropriate I leave it with you all...

agree

erwan-l: Bien sûr.
