SUPPORT THE ARCHIVE
Walking Distance is a distributed documentary archive built from physical artifacts released into public space. Support helps cover the quiet costs of keeping the archive alive: printing, packaging, hosting, maps, documentation, and future releases.
2026 ARCHIVE BUDGET
Target annual operating budget: $2,000
$2,000 left to fund this year's archive.
Every contribution helps release more artifacts, preserve their records, and keep the public archive open.

Support is voluntary. It does not purchase an artifact, reserve a copy, or create paid access. Walking Distance artifacts are released into public space and the archive remains open.
Contributions are personal support for an independent art project and are not tax-deductible charitable donations.
PRINT INQUIRIES
Fine-art prints, collector boxes, and documentation editions may happen separately from the traveling artifacts. Send a note if you would like to be contacted when something becomes available.
