The Soaring Twenties Social Club Needs You!
Become a Patron of the Arts and helps us change the face of online art
Last week we released The Code- our bold and unique editorial policy. An intentionally provocative and innovative statement of intent that demonstrates that we mean business and that we are serious about changing the nature of online creativity.
And it has had the desired effect. I have received numerous emails of support along with enquiries as to how people can strengthen our efforts. Several individuals have pledged to become paid subscribers if this were available as an option.
So now it is.
Our ethos is established, our audience is growing and there are people keen to become patrons of the arts and offer our worldwide roster of artists their support.
Here’s how it works. You can become a paid member for $6 per month or $60 per year. There is also the option to become a Founder member for $180 per year.
Alternatively you can click the ‘Donations and Memberships’ button at the bottom of this post to either make a one time donation or to find a monthly tier that suits you, should you be looking for something between the monthly and founder tiers offered on Substack.
Every penny of your money will go towards funding future STSC ventures and projects and every penny will be accounted for. As well as creating great art across all mediums we are also aiming to have this group act as a beacon and a blueprint for other collectives and so transparency is critical. As The Code says- The money goes back in.
We will never paywall any of our work and create a separation between the readers and the patrons of our art- just because you are short of money shouldn’t exclude you from being able to access our work. What we are offering is a chance for you to support us- for as much or as little as you like- and help us bring our projects to life.
The current online landscape is a mess of clickbait and division and anger and content of the lowest common denominator. We intend to change this. But you do not bring about change by destroying the old. You do it by ignoring the old, the rotten, the decaying and building something new and beautiful instead. This is our mission. The Code testifies we are not fooling around. And if you choose to support us- whether it be with a monthly pledge, a one time donation, or even a kind comment or word of encouragement, it would mean the world to us.
This is going to be a great adventure. We look forward to having you join us.
Not sure if anything similar ever existed on the internet, not with such a breadth of talent making art all together. Genuinely happy to be a part of the collective.
or in short, YES
I feel so lucky to be part of this incredible group of people. Can’t wait to make more art with you all.
