A U.S. company is seeking a contract with a foreign company, and the foreign company wants to send an artist to the U.S. to teach the U.S. company's employees how to perform some of the services they would be providing under the contract. The foreign company would be paying the artist to perform the work, so the artist wouldn't be paid by or employed by the U.S. company. Can the artist do the work on a B-1 visa, or will they need an O visa?
