Support Materia

Keep material knowledge open.

Materia is independent, born digital, and freely available. Donations help sustain the careful editorial work behind the journal—and create room for what Materia can become next.

Scholarship should be rigorous and reachable.

Open access removes a barrier between research and the people who can use it. Your support helps Materia publish ambitious technical art history without placing that cost on readers, students, or independent researchers.

As Materia grows beyond the journal, donations can also help us develop conversations, workshops, classes, and other ways to bring material knowledge into wider circulation.

01

Publish carefully

Support the editorial, peer-review, production, and digital work required to bring each issue into the world.

02

Remain open

Help keep articles freely accessible to students, professionals, institutions, and curious readers everywhere.

03

Grow thoughtfully

Create capacity for new formats and programs while preserving Materia’s object-led, interdisciplinary point of view.
