The Jasper Guild is a group of supporting artists and arts lovers who appreciate not only the vital Columbia, SC arts scene, but the magazine devoted to promoting it. Members of the Jasper Guild recognize the labor of love that is Jasper and work to do their parts to ensure that Jasper continues to publish a 100% LOCAL & artist-produced magazine. You’re invited to join us in our mission to make Columbia, SC the Southeast arts capitol by becoming a member of the Jasper Guild. And the next time you open a copy of Jasper you’ll be able to say, “I helped make this happen and here’s my name to prove it.”

At the Jasper Project, we’re working harder than ever to keep Jasper Magazine free and available to anyone who wants to read it. We realize a lot of you hold on to Jasper, too, and that’s why it’s important that we create a piece of literary art that is beautiful, informative, and an archival and interpretive narrative of the SC Midlands arts culture. The magazine you hold in your hand costs between $12 and $15 to produce, and that’s without compensating editors or staff. This is almost double what it cost before the pandemic. If you believe in Jasper and our mission to nurture, promote, and celebrate SC arts in all its forms, please consider becoming part of the answer to how we continue to keep Jasper free by joining the guild at whatever level you can afford. Thank you!
