Fundraiser Prices; Matching Donation!

We are still putting the final touches on our new Patreon-replacement system and hope to have it open very soon, along with pre-registration for all of our 2024 courses, which begin in early February.

In the meantime, I want to announce our new pricing structure for 2024, along with the very exciting news that we have secured a matching donation of up to $20,000 for all donations up to Patron-tier at the annual fundraiser! So anyone who switches over to the new system will effectively double their contribution to the school for the coming year. The Fundraiser will be open through the end of January.

Prices for all of our subscription tiers will be going up slightly to keep up with inflation and to reflect the dramatically increased levels of content now available, as well as the fact that the Mimbres School has moved out of the "Proof of Concept" phase and into the "Achieving Sustainability" phase. Please remember that, if you choose to keep your current Patreon subscription rather than switching over, you will be able to keep that price until January 2026. However, we hope you will agree that what you get is worth a little more than that, and support the School by switching over (and getting your donation matched!)

Here is an overview of our pricing and content structure:

There are three basic categories of Mimbres School content: Classes, Reading Groups, and Workshops. Classes are our main offerings: this is prime-time Mimbres. Reading Groups are more informal, supplementary sessions. Workshops, finally, are spaces for works-in-progress of Mimbres faculty and advanced students: a glimpse behind the scenes. Classes are open to tuition-paying students, Reading Groups may be attended by anyone who is either a) currently enrolled, or b) a Patron-tier subscriber or higher, and Workshops are generally open to all.

AUDITORS: $10/mo, or $100 annually. Auditors receive access to recorded Class sessions. Subscribe annually at the fundraiser and receive a set of postcards of this year's course art!

SUPPORTERS: $20/mo, or $200 annually. Supporters receive access to recorded Class and Reading Group sessions. Subscribe annually at the fundraiser and receive a set of postcards of this year's course art!

PATRONS: $30/mo, or $300 annually ($350 w/ print). Patrons receive access to recorded Class, Reading Group, and Workshop sessions, and may also attend Reading Groups even without being currently enrolled. Subscribe annually at the fundraiser and receive a set of postcards of this year's course art. You can also get this whole package PLUS a full-size limited-edition print of one of our course posters for $350!

In addition to these three basic tiers, we also offer packages that include course tuitions (normally $250 per course).

CONTRIBUTOR: $100/mo, or $950 annually ($1000 w/ print). Contributors receive everything in the Patron-tier package, plus unlimited course attendance! You can also get this whole package PLUS a full-size limited-edition print of one of our course posters for $1000! This is the best package for anyone who wants to be fully involved in Mimbres School activities and plans to take at least four of our courses in 2024.

FRIEND: $3,500+ annually. Friends receive everything that Contributors do, plus a limited-edition (2/2) *bamboo* print of one of our course posters. Only two of each print will ever be printed on bamboo: one will live permanently at the School and the other available for our most generous donors!

If you are interested in subscribing at either the Contributor or Friend tier, you do not need to wait for the website: we can handle these tiers manually, and prefer to receive a check in the mail. Inquire in Discord or email us at themimbresschool@gmail.com!

New Patreon subscriptions will be closing permanently as soon as we can get these pesky computers behaving correctly. Thanks for your patience and stay tuned!
