We want to keep Blue Art Journal access free for everyone.

Due to financial constraints and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the journal, a subscription model for Blue Art Journal is on the horizon. This would enable us to expand, properly resource our staff and continue nurturing the growing field of First Nations arts writing.

But if you are in a position to help us keep these words out from behind a paywall and support us on our quest to keep Blue Art Journal access free for everyone, forever, please consider donating to the journal.
