We need your help to stay paywall free

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Among the highlights is the “Frida Kahlo: Picturing an Icon” exhibition, running through October 5, which offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the iconic Mexican artist through intimate photographs from her personal albums. Complementing the exhibit are events such as “Garden Night: Color y Alegría” on July 11, featuring Latin fusion band De Tierra Caliente, and a classical concert on August 7 with violist David Pedraz performing works honoring Latin American composers.

The museum also provides inclusive arts programming, including free “Adaptive Arts” sessions for teens (July 8–10) and adults (July 15–17) with special needs. These workshops focus on storytelling and personal expression through media such as painting and collage, guided by the themes in the Frida Kahlo exhibit.
