Membership
Support Creativity
Founded in 2008, My Modern Met was formed to create one big city that celebrates creativity. For over 13 years, we have proudly been a champion for emerging, mid-career, and established artists, photographers, designers, and makers by providing them a platform to shine and grow. Beyond that, we continue to expand our content in ways that will spark positivity in you by sharing inspiring stories of humanity and the amazing things found in our natural world. There’s a lot to be in awe of—and thankful for—and we’re committed to sharing it.
This is where you come in. You play a pivotal role in helping ensure My Modern Met is able to continue our mission of spreading creativity and positivity online. Become a member of My Modern Met today and you can help support our independent publishing as well as our commitment to bringing you fresh art & culture content every day.
As a small team with limited resources, we’ve created a membership program to help fund the site and our rising costs. By becoming a member, your fees will be allocated towards staff salaries and other expenses that help keep the lights on. But beyond that, you’ll help us pursue our long-term initiatives that all revolve around supporting the arts. We’re ambitious around here, and we’ve created goals to help us grow and create even more rich content that is accessible for all—think free creative resources, a podcast, and online classes that will help you learn new skills. And those are just a few ways in which we’re planning on expanding our content. We have even more exciting things in the works.
We hope you’ll join us in our efforts to support the arts!

Frequently Asked Questions
Since launching in 2008, we’ve worked hard to sustain ourselves through a variety of revenue streams, including advertising, sponsorships, and e-commerce. We’ve been able to keep our site independent and without outside investment.
Our membership program is a meaningful way for our readers to support a publication that they’ve grown to love and appreciate over the years so that we can keep going.
Beyond covering operational costs, members help us pursue our long-term initiatives in our quest to further support the arts and create rich content that is accessible for everyone—including a podcast, expanding into more languages, and online classes. We also intend to invest in projects like supporting talented artists and creative makers through My Modern Met Store.
Membership fees will be specifically allocated towards staff salaries, hosting and software costs, funding new projects geared towards helping the creative community, and other expenses that help keep the lights on.
From the very beginning, we’ve believed that everyone should have free access to art and culture content. Because of this, we will not be putting up a paywall on our site.
