Dear Readers,

This fall we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of X-TRA’s first issue! This represents two and half decades of sustaining a vibrant critical discourse about contemporary art in X-TRA’s journal, in X-TRA on-line and in our related public events. We’re a small organization that needs YOUR help to continue to thrive in the constantly changing, and demanding landscape of truly independent arts publishing, so we’re announcing two giving opportunities:

X-TRA 25 PRINT SALE

We’ve opened up our archives and selected a limited number of artist’s editions at very affordable prices. These works reflect both the history of X-TRA and of contemporary art in LA including renowned artists who first emerged in the 1990s and a younger generation active today. You can view the selections of these beautiful prints and purchase them here.

X-TRA 25 + 25 MATCHING FUND CHALLENGE

If we raise $25,000 by the end of October, a few generous donors have agreed to match this with $25,000. That’s $25,000 plus another $25,000, enabling us to double our fundraising to $50,000!
Help us to reach that goal by donating directly.

All funds raised will directly fund the salaries of staff, editors and writers, general operations, and our new Editorial Fellowship Program, the only one of its kind in the country.

Contribute more by sharing this page with your friends and colleagues.

Your support in any amount helps us toward a successful and sustainable future for X-TRA.
