double our Membership
Locker Mate $5/mo
Won’t you be my neighbor? Our friendship isn’t based just on proximity, our bond is far more significant than that!
For $5 a month get access to our Close Friends story on Instagram - which is chock full of secrets from our staff and behind-the-scenes looks at everything we’re planning before anyone else knows about it - AND our Patreon Forum chat - where we’ll poll you about new merch, themes for our events, and skills you’re itching to learn at our upcoming workshops, and Junior High-Gest in your inbox 1 day before the rest of our subscribers.
Lunch Bestie $10/mo
Don’t cry, bestie! It’s not lunch bestie tears it’s the lunch bestie TIER! Gone are the days of eating lunch by yourself, you have a bestie to meet up with between classes and swap sandwiches with since you’re bored of bologna anyway.
For $10 a month you get access to our Close Friends story on Instagram, access to our Patreon Forum chat, Junior High-Gest in your inbox 1 day before the rest of our subscribers, and a private party that only our staff and Patrons are invited to.
Study Buddy $25/mo
At this point we’re having dinner at each other’s houses every other day because Trigonometry is impossible and French is like a whole other language. Luckily we have each other’s backs and staying up all night doesn’t feel quite so bad when I’m with you.
For $25 a month, not only do you get everything in the above tiers, you will also receive an ad free version of Artist Chat — hosted with our curator Chelsie Rivera —every month, one year before it's published to the general public.
Camp Penpal $50/mo
On the last day of camp we exchanged phone numbers and promised we’d call each other every day, write letters every week, meet up in each other’s towns before Summer starts again…………. and we did!
On top of everything in the first tiers, you will also receive a monthly gift designed by a member of our community mailed directly to your door AND one free event* every month.
*Restrictions apply.
First Crush $100/mo
I remember the first time I saw you walk into homeroom. Your hair was windswept, your eyes sparkling, and your shoes were… untied. I doodled our names inside all my notebooks and wrote your name in every game of MASH I played.
On top of everything in the above tiers, you will be able to attend 3 free events* each month.
*Restrictions apply.
We can only do this with your help

Teacher’s Pet $1500/yr
This one goes out to anyone who had an emotional support teacher during their schooling years. You know who I mean! You’d eat lunch in their classroom, spend your free periods grading their other classes’ tests, and you only had that weird kissing dream one time! Plus, whoever calls the Teacher’s Pet annoying is the real hater.
For your generous support we will dedicate one of our iconic red chairs to YOU! All we need is your chosen name — or your company, organization, or whoever you’d like to highlight — and we’ll always have a seat set up for you at any Junior High event you attend (and at the events you don’t attend!)
DID YOU KNOW: $1500/mo is the average we pay our Staff Manager each month. With 12 members at this tier we will be able to fully fund our Staff Manager's paycheck without breaking a sweat.
Stage Crew $3000/yr
While the other kids may underestimate you, we know that you rule the school. Plus you probably have access to the keyring that gets you into every locked room on campus.
For your generous support you will be the first to receive each new Junior High merch item mailed directly to your door for as long as you remain a supporter at this tier! Become a bona fide Junior High collector and we may even throw in the odd deadstock archived design if you’re lucky!
DID YOU KNOW: $3000/mo is the goal paycheck for our Curator and Executive Director. With 24 members at this tier we will be able to fully fund both executive positions in our organization.
Honor Roll $5000/yr
Your excellence has been noticed by the Junior High administration and we are pleased to honor your academic prowess by making your identity known to the rest of the student body!
For your generous support we will proudly display your name as a beneficent donor — as the sole benefactor of one exhibition a year, and alongside all Honor Roll donors during the annual comm-UNITY Exhibition — who allows us to continue displaying innovative and exciting artworks year-round for as long as you remain a supporter.
DID YOU KNOW: Monthly rent at Junior High is $5,330/mo. With 13 members at this tier we will be able to fully fund one year of rent!
Prom Court $10,000/yr
Listen up 5s, a 10 is speaking! Even though you are ultra-popular and blindingly beautiful prom royalty, we know that you’re more of a humble Cady Heron winner than a Carrie White.
For your generous support we will proudly name our Artist Resident Studio after you, displaying your name/your business's name/the name of anyone you like in lettering big enough for everyone who enters Junior High to read.
DID YOU KNOW: We operate as a small team of 2 full time executives and 1 part time administrator. For each member who joins this tier we will be able to fund more part time jobs without our organization! Including, but not limited to: full time graphic designer, curator assistant, and executive assistant.
The PTA $15,000/yr
No school can operate without a strong collaboration between the Parents and the Administration that guides our children to scholastic success, and that’s why we need you, Mommy! Wait…sorry I mean Mommy……..sorry…Mommy…sorry, Mommy…sorry…
For your generous support, once a year you and (up to) 5 of your best friends can take a workshop completely free of charge where you get hands-on guidance from one of our workshop facilitators. This will be a private, exclusive experience complete with all of the necessary materials to make your very own masterpiece! The workshop options are limited to Clay Date, Tattooing for Beginners, Sewing, and Screenprinting.
DID YOU KNOW: $15,000 is our average monthly expenses including payroll, rent, accounting services, and the nitty gritty things like toilet paper, paper towels, and paying for internet. With 12 members at this tier we will be able to fully fund the baseline of one year of operation for Junior High!
