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.
