Already, over 750 supporters have contributed to the future of Hyperallergic, and we are so grateful. With your support, we are more confident than ever that we can survive the dramatic loss of advertising that we've experienced and that is threatening the sustainability of so many independent publications during this crisis. Hyperallergic has been focusing reporting on the pandemic's impact on many of the most precarious members of the arts community: museum educators, art professors, art schools, art galleries, and artists. As part of our mission, we strive to reflect the realities that affectall of the arts community and not only those at the very top. We've also highlighted many independent films and video art that you can watch from home and 2,500 museums you can visit online — including a mini-museum for gerbils. ;) If you've read Hyperallergic for years, or even just a few months, and appreciate what we do, we need your support now. We have set a goal to reach 3,000 supporters to help us get through this period, and your contribution is needed to help us get there. It just takes a few minutes, but means so much. Here is the link to become a member now. We understand that not everyone can contribute right now, but if you are in a position to support us, we will put your contribution to good use. And if you can't contribute now, please consider sharing our appeal to your networks through email or social media to voice your support of our work. Hyperallergic is nothing without our readers. Thank you again!
