Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help underwrite Lum’s production costs for its two 2022 print issues, ongoing online FORUM and other community-based programs. Funds will also support the establishment of a biannual art prize and an annual arts writing fellowship, both to be awarded to regional artists and journalists from BIPOC communities or historically excluded groups.
