Nearly three years ago, New Times inaugurated our membership program, inviting readers to make one-time gifts or regular monthly contributions to support our journalism and peruse our website without the intrusion of ads. Since then, we've seen our supporter count steadily rise, and we're extremely grateful for the response.

On Thursday, November 30, we'll celebrate our benefactors with a happy-hour event to meet and mingle with our editorial staff from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood.

Seeing as how the timing coincides with the advent of Miami Art Week, in addition to bites and beverages and the opportunity to meet our editorial staff and the good people behind one of our favorite local arts organizations, attendees will be treated to a sneak peek at the cover of our annual Art Week print issue. (See past examples here, here, and here.)

New Times has hosted plenty of events over the years, but this intimate, members-only occasion will be a first for us.

"I am thrilled to be a part of planning the first of many members-only events at Miami New Times," says Lily Black, our new membership manager. "This event is a testament to, and celebration of, the vibrant community that New Times has cultivated over the years. As a members-only affair, this 'arty party' is designed exclusively with our core supporters in mind. It's a recognition of the shared passion and enthusiasm that binds us together as readers, and it's a unique opportunity to engage with our publication in a whole new way."

"We look forward to welcoming our members to this exclusive get-together. Your support and engagement have made this possible. Thank you for being an essential part of New Times' journey."

The event is open only to New Times members, and space is limited. If you are not yet a New Times member, join today to receive an invite to this happy hour and future members-only editorial events.

Thanks in advance for your support.

New Times Members-Only Event. 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, November 30, at Bakehouse Art Complex, 561 NW 32nd St., Miami; 305-576-2828; bacfl.org. Sign up for a New Times membership at miaminewtimes.com/support.
