Forte makes it possible to directly support your favorite musicians and bands with a monthly fee in exchange for an authentic window into their in-progress work, creative process, and other personal offerings in a supportive and equitable system that doesn’t push them to overextend their obligations.
But unlike other subscription-based platforms, you aren’t forced to choose a single artist to support with your monthly fee. If you’d rather support the whole group of members at once, or you just can’t choose one favorite, you can become a community subscriber and see all of their updates. Your subscription allows us to lower the individual platform fees and provide services and benefits to all of our members.
The multi-stakeholder cooperative model has two essential pillars: it is regionally-focused, and attempts to improve the quality of life not just for its core group of members but for the community as a whole. That means you are just as important to the success of this vision as the artists we serve, and can benefit from that success too!
The relationship between artists and their community is incredibly important, and our platform is built to strengthen that relationship and bring both sides closer together. Check out some of the opportunities we offer our community subscribers.
