Invest in Free Arts Journalism for All Ohioans

Ohio artists, particularly those outside major metros, have few ways to get their work seen. Commercial publications charge for placement. The Scribe publishes Ohio artists for free and distributes 4,000 copies monthly to 200+ community locations.

What Your Investment Accomplishes

Your donation directly addresses the visibility gap facing Ohio artists:

  • Free publication for artists without marketing budgets (each feature provides exposure equivalent to hundreds of dollars in advertising)
  • No-cost distribution to libraries, galleries, and cafes (reaching readers who may not have internet access or social media)
  • Statewide coverage including rural and underserved areas (Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, and smaller communities)

"As an emerging artist, The Scribe provided a new avenue for me to gain exposure to real people, without the risk of fees or fear of social media bots. With the traditional printed approach combined with the online editions, my work was delivered directly to art-loving people in cherished public gathering spaces..." -- Reagan Joseph Rico
