Index Patronage Program
Index is graciously supported by our community of Patrons and Liaisons (PALs). We hang in Discord, join collective reading and research groups, and get 10% off of all courses, workshops and paid events.
If you're in a position to give back to your creative community, we promise to make your contribution go as far as possible.
