Ephemere Membership 2027
Enrollment for the 2027 cycle closes on January 31, 2027, or as soon as all nine seats are filled.
An intimate, limited membership of nine seats, providing the essential working capital for our 2027 publishing initiatives. At $750 for the year—an investment of $62.50 per month—your patronage directly funds our grant and print production. In deep appreciation, members receive dedicated editorial access, tactile rewards, and a lasting place within our community.
Who This Is For
Our membership is not a commercial subscription; it is a space for dedicated visual artists, photobook collectors, and quiet supporters who believe in tactile storytelling. We are looking for nine individuals who understand that patient, independent publishing requires collective care, and who want to actively participate in the unhurried ecosystem we are building for 2027.
Financial Support & Access
Because your patronage directly fuels our press, we want to ensure Ephemere’s ongoing opportunities remain seamlessly accessible to you throughout the year.
100% Waived Open Calls: Free entry to all Ephemere open calls throughout 2027, including the Photobook Grant, group publications, and festival exhibitions.
25% Store Patron Discount: A year-round 25% discount on all physical books and editions in the Ephemere Store (excluding calculated shipping).
15% Program Discount: A 15% reduction on our intensive editorial programs, including 1-on-1 Mentorships, Masterclasses, and Workshops.
Dedicated 1-on-1 Time
To support your ongoing practice, each membership includes two private 60-minute online consultations with Ephemere Founder & Director Anne Murayama, which can be used for dedicated portfolio reviews, project sequencing, or general curatorial guidance.
To ensure your momentum is supported year-round, these sessions are divided into two parts: one consultation in the first half of the year, and one in the second half. Upon checkout, you will simply select your two preferred months, and we will find the exact dates and times together as those months approach.
Tactile Rewards & Presence
Ephemere is built on physical craft and quiet community. As a member, you will receive our tactile output directly to your door, alongside priority access and lasting recognition.
The Photo Journal: You will receive a complimentary physical copy of the upcoming Ephemere Photo Journal Volume III in 2027, as well as our newly released Volume II, sent via registered printed matter mail.
Priority Registration: A 48-hour early access window to secure a seat in our highly limited events, masterclasses, and workshops before they are announced to the public.
Imprint Acknowledgment: As a founding 2027 member, your name will be formally recognized in the colophon of our upcoming journal and festival program, honoring your vital support (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
