Your support helps us pay our writers, expand our coverage, and keep independent arts criticism and cultural commentary available without a paywall.

Dear Arts Fuse readers, friends, and fans:

As it enters its 19th year, The Arts Fuse continues to grow – and our million + readers across the world are the reason why. Your support helps us pay our writers, expand our coverage, and keep independent arts criticism and cultural commentary available without a paywall.

Last year’s record-breaking fundraiser is enabling us to increase writers’ pay for the second time in almost 20 years (!) and hire part-time marketing staff. Thank you!

Now it’s time to do it again.

Help the Arts Fuse become financially sustainable. Supporting us now will strengthen an independent online magazine and its popular podcast, a publication that posts enjoyable, high-quality, and in-depth arts criticism, features, and cultural commentary that mainstream journalism has largely abandoned. And read a new poem every Thursday!

The Arts Fuse operates without a paywall and without paid subscriptions, but it is not free to produce.

Please consider making as generous a gift as you can. Consider signing up as a monthly contributor – even small regular donations can really add up. You can make these gifts online or by check.

You can also make a recommended gift from your Donor Advised Fund, as a gift of appreciated stocks, or (if you’re an older person like me) as a portion of the required minimum distribution from your retirement fund. And remember to ask if your employer will match your gift!

The Arts Fuse is a registered nonprofit (EIN is 27-0924769) which means your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Got any questions? Reach out to me at wmarx103@gmail.com.

With heartfelt thanks,

Editor Bill Marx, and the rest of the grateful gang at The Arts Fuse
