Keep Birdy Soaring: Support Denver’s Artist‑Run Independent Magazine
Since January 2014, Birdy has been dedicated to providing free, high-quality print and digital platforms each and every month that amplify diverse creative voices in Denver and beyond. Founded by artist-activists, it’s a community-born, artist-run magazine rooted in integrity, inclusivity, artfulness and play.
Each month, Birdy offers carefully curated visual art, fiction, interviews and features that spark curiosity, celebrate counterculture, and connect people through shared creative experiences . It’s a collectible piece of art that is treasured — and often framed — while its cheeky, self-produced artful ads help support local artists and independent businesses.
Why Your Gift Matters
- Keep Print Alive: Birdy remains free in select public spaces in Colorado and select States in from coffee shops and galleries to independent restaurants and libraries — making art and ideas available to everyone
- Support Independent Artists & Writers: Your donation helps Birdy curate, compensate and uplift the creative voices shaping today’s culture — without compromising integrity.
- Cultural Community Building: Rooted in DIY ethics from their late donation-based venue Deer Pile, Birdy fosters collaboration, inclusivity and connection. We sustain the creative ecosystem of our time by showcasing voices that might otherwise be overlooked, ensuring this crucial creative pulse continues to thrive.
