The Dirt is a free online events calendar and printed monthly arts & culture publication.Content from The Dirt is produced by local writers, editors, photographers, artists, poets, web developers, and community members. We’re proud of our commitment to community journalism, and strive to pay our creators and editors market value pay for their time and skill. We’re also committed to keeping this publication and website free forever but it does cost money to operate and produce. You can join our community-building mission by becoming a sustaining member of The Dirt. We’ve identified a baseline need of $20,000 per year to cover printing costs and website fees. Donations given through Donorbox go directly to The Dirt and will be used for printing costs and fees associated with hosting our growing website.
