Forge Founder
Year One Subscribers

The Forge Institute has quickly grown from a vision for change into an active, creative community here in the hills.

Our Forge Founder Subscription is a way for individuals, families, and local businesses to stand behind that growth in a practical and visible way.

Much like community radio subscriber programs (3MDR, RRR, PBS), this is not a donation, it is a way to publicly support something you believe in.

Your subscription directly supports:

  • Youth-led creative programs

  • Artist-run workshops and mentorship

  • Community exhibitions and events

  • The development of a permanent creative home

As a 2026 Forge Founder subscriber, you will receive:

  • A limited-edition “Forge Founder” enamel pin (2026 subscribers)

  • A Forge Institute bumper sticker

  • Digital or physical copies of Fever Dream Magazine upon launch

  • Priority updates and early access to selected events

  • Recognition as a foundational supporter in our digital and future physical ledgers

For those who wish to take a more active role, an optional Membership Add-On is available.
This formally submits your application to become a member of The Forge Institute Incorporated Association and allows you to participate more directly in governance and contribution.

The first year of anything defines its culture.
Forge Founder subscribers will always be part of that origin chapter.
