Also note that uncompensated amateur performances are ok, but paid ones are not. So presumably if you are doing symbolic work without pay (say, the first shovel of a groundbreaking) the fact that they could be paying someone doesn't make it employment.
This leads to all kinds of interesting questions.
If you are an artist and here on a business visa, are you allowed to paint on your own canvas? Are you allowed to buy or sell paintings that you paint here in the US? I would think so. You might not be able to paint a mural for hire though.
- dalke 13y agohttp://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/hnivb1.html http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/hnivb1.html lists many categories of people who may be in the US under a B1 visa: > Artists: An artist coming to the United States to paint, sculpt, etc. who is not under contract with a U.S. employer and who does not intend to regularly sell such art-work in the United States.
