We are delighted to invite you to directly support our work by joining us as members on Patreon. Your support would not only allow us to continue creating unconventional work dedicated to contemporary art and visual culture, but would help us at Dissolve to grow our circle of artists, writers, readers, and friends. The content featured on dissolvesf.org is always available for free to all visitors. Through Patreon, we will share new selections in the form of art-making prompts, recommended readings, art chats, and thoughtful responses to our “Dear Dissolve” advice column. We hope to see you on Patreon.

Here is a preview of Dissolve on Patreon:

• Monthly Art-Making Prompts in the form of writing or images designed to reignite your visual and/or writing-based practice by serving as unconventional and open-ended points of departure for creating work.

• Monthly Recommended Readings in the form of a downloadable list of recommended texts, essays, books, and images that Dissolve editors have come across in their own work.

• “Dearly Dissolved,” a monthly advice column where we invite contemporary artists, writers, and culture producers to send questions, conundrums, and provocations to us in the form of an open letter to be featured on the platform together with a thoughtful response. 

• Art Chats, much like a studio visit or tutorial, offer the opportunity to float a new idea, read a few sentences from your artist statement, or receive feedback on a recent work in a small group setting. Art Chats are facilitated by Dissolve editors Christopher Squier and Jackie Valle and held as one-hour sessions with 3-5 participants.

Memberships start at $12.00 per month. Find out more at patreon.com/Dissolve_patreon.
