Letter from the editor:
This is a big day for Hyperallergic. Today, we announce our new Hyperallergic Membership program, which will support our mission to speak truth to power, while publishing high-quality writing.
Read the letter from Veken and me discussing the new program. I hope you will read it and consider becoming a member.
Whether you're a longtime or newer reader of Hyperallergic, you'll know that we celebrate the spirit of ingenuity that drives artists, writers, and creators of all kinds. Through our daily coverage, we hope to distill the world around us in order to understand and see it through different perspectives. We don’t publish reviews to influence the market, and we don’t have wealthy benefactors or venture capital investors looking for a big payday. We are a small team of dedicated staff who come into work every day to produce a publication we can be proud of and that our readers value.
We question the status quo every day. You could even say that we’ve jostled it, helping to enlighten people about the wave of creativity all around us while making room for new voices that continue the tradition of breaking new ground in the arts.
Please join us by becoming a member!
