Transparency
We want to be as transparent as possible about how we're working and what our goals are. Here is some information about what we're doing at Berm.
Goals
Our goal with Berm is to provide a platform for artists, writers, and creators, upcoming and established, and to showcase a broad and diverse view of contemporary art and design.
Funding
Berm is currently funded through a mixture of donations through Patreon and self-funding, but we are looking towards grants, sponsorships, and advertising to reduce our personal out-of-pocket costs.
We're estimating the fourth issue will cost about $3,200.00 to produce.
