Why Your Support Matters
Independent arts criticism is increasingly rare — and increasingly necessary.
Fortresses is committed to:
Paying writers for their labor
Publishing criticism that is locally grounded and nationally engaged
Mentoring emerging voices alongside established critics
Building durable relationships across artists, institutions, and audiences
Your donation helps ensure that this work remains human-led, independent, and responsive to the communities it serves.
Thank you for helping make this work possible.
