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.
