We couldn’t do it without you. We hope you can’t do it without us.

This year, your generous support has made Cultural Weekly an even more essential part of our collective cultural landscape — from our exclusive reporting on ALOUD and the Los Angeles Library Foundation, to the Jack Grapes Poetry Prize, the Dare to Dance in Public Film Festival… to the poets we publish every week, the extraordinary young writers you read in Tomorrow’s Voices Today, theatre reviews and commentary from Sylvie Drake and David Sheward, art and cultural criticism from Allon Schoener, cultural and media perspectives from Adam Leipzig, film views from Elisa Leonelli, dance notes from Ann Haskins, comics from Carol Green… oh, the list goes on.

Cultural Weekly is an experiment in participatory civic media. You make it possible. Thank you, generous donors to Next Echo Foundation, which publishes Cultural Weekly!
