Hi Friends!
I’m coming to you once again to ask for your help in bringing to fruition a project that I’ve devoted almost twelve years to–the publication of Jasper Magazine.
As you probably know, Jasper is a grass roots non-profit with no paid employees—including me! Every penny that comes into the Jasper Project goes back out to artists either in the form of promotion, sharing their work via events, or actually as remittance for their work. Other than insurance and a few cyber fees, we have no overhead that would suck up any money you might give. No office, no desks, no benefits.
But we do have an amazing working board of directors and helpers and a volunteer staff, made up of your friends and colleagues, all of whom have invested their energy and talent into the Jasper mission.
Mission Statement
The Jasper Project is a project-oriented, multidisciplinary arts facilitator serving the greater Columbia and South Carolina communities by providing collaborative arts engineering and community-wide arts communication.

The Jasper Project Priorities
The Jasper Project is committed to four integrated priorities:
Process – illuminating the unique processes endemic to all art forms in order to provide a greater level of understanding and respect for that discipline.
Community/Collaboration – nurturing community both within and between arts disciplines.
Narrative – creating a more positive and progressive understanding of SC culture.
Economy – being efficient stewards of arts funding committed to creating more with less.
