SUPPORT US

Low Altitude has been operating as a non-profit entity since its inception in 2023. While we want to keep our platform free for all, so everyone can read and see the wonderful art coming out of our country and from around the world, we also want to pay our artists (which we do). We want to live in a world where artists are not only compensated with ‘exposure’.

Any amount, we promise, will go a long way. We are dedicated to the arts, and those who create. All money received will go towards paying our contributors.
