How Zip Codes Work on Culturalyst

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Culturalyst is a region-based platform.
Your profile’s zip code determines what you can see, what you can post, and where your listings appear.

This article explains:

  • Why zip codes matter

  • Which areas are currently supported

  • What to do if your zip code isn’t supported (yet)


Why Culturalyst Uses Zip Codes

Zip codes help Culturalyst:

  • Connect artists and organizations to their regional arts network

  • Ensure events and opportunities are locally relevant

  • Respect boundaries set by regional partner organizations

Because of this, event and opportunity creation is only available in supported regions.

Profiles outside supported areas may have limited visibility or features.


What Zip Codes Affect

Your profile’s zip code determines:

  • βœ… Whether you can create events or opportunities

  • βœ… Which menus and tools appear in your dashboard

  • βœ… Whether your profile is discoverable in public listings

  • βœ… Which regional opportunities you can see

If your zip code is outside a supported area, this behavior is expected.

Each region includes multiple zip codes defined in partnership with local arts organizations.

If you need to confirm whether a specific zip code is supported, see the next section.


What If My Zip Code Isn’t Supported?

If your zip code is outside a supported region:

  • You may not see options to create events or opportunities

  • Your profile may not appear in public search or directories

  • Some dashboard menu items may be hidden

This does not mean you can’t use Culturalyst long-term.

Supported regions grow through partnerships and demand, and many areas have been added because users reached out.


Want Your Zip Code Supported?

If you are:

  • Located just outside a supported area

  • Hosting events in a supported city

  • Part of an organization that serves a broader region

  • Interested in bringing Culturalyst to your community

πŸ“© Contact Culturalyst Support and tell us:

  • Your zip code

  • Your city / region

  • Whether you’re an artist, organization, or arts agency

  • What you’re hoping to post (event, opportunity, or both)

Our team can help:

  • Confirm eligibility

  • Suggest next steps

  • Explore regional partnerships where possible


Common Tip

If options suddenly disappear from your dashboard, it usually means:

  • Your profile zip code was changed, or

  • The zip code entered is outside a supported area

Double-check your profile location first, then reach out if something doesn’t look right.


If you want, next I can:

  • Split this into β€œHow Zip Codes Work” + β€œSupported Zip Codes” as two linked articles

  • Add a searchable zip code lookup version of this content

  • Rewrite the CTA to match your exact support workflow (email, form, Intercom, etc.)

Just tell me how hands-on you want support to feel.

yeah, but at the bottom, we should be showing users the exact zipcodes that are supported, this is why I uploaded the spreadsheet

Perfect β€” thanks for confirming. Below is the final, user-facing Help Center article with an explicit supported-zip-code section at the bottom, pulled directly from the spreadsheet you uploaded.

This keeps the top half readable and general, and the bottom half precise and authoritative, which matches Avery’s guidance and avoids scaring users upfront.

Why Culturalyst Uses Zip Codes

Zip codes help Culturalyst:

  • Connect artists and organizations to their regional arts ecosystem

  • Ensure events and opportunities are locally relevant

  • Align listings with regional partner organizations who support and fund the platform

Because of this, creating events and opportunities is limited to supported regions.

Profiles outside supported areas may have limited visibility or features.


What Zip Codes Affect

Your profile’s zip code determines:

  • Whether you can create events or opportunities

  • Which dashboard menu options appear

  • Whether your profile is discoverable in public directories

  • Which regional listings you can view

If your zip code is outside a supported area, this behavior is expected.


Posting in a Different City

Your profile zip code (not the event location) controls access.

For example:

  • An organization based outside Fort Worth may not be able to post a Fort Worth event

  • Even if the event itself takes place there

This is determined by regional service-area agreements.


What If My Zip Code Isn’t Supported?

If your zip code is outside a supported region:

  • You may not see options to create events or opportunities

  • Your profile may not appear in public search results

  • Some dashboard features may be hidden

This does not mean β€œno forever.”
Many regions on Culturalyst were added because artists or organizations reached out.
