Our hope is that the Weekender will act as a new space for readers to connect with the creative community, and for creatives to connect with our readers.
You can expect to see an exciting range of work by Tyee staff writers as well as new voices taking the Weekender stage. If you'd like to be a part of it, reach out to us with a pitch.

Our official campaign period is over, but of course, readers are welcome (and encouraged!) to sign up as contributing Tyee Builders at any time.
