BOMBâs mission is to deliver the artistâs voice. In 1981, a group of visual, literary and performing artists, deeply immersed in the creative communities of downtown New York City, discussed the need for a magazine that would capture the formative conversations happening in apartments, studios, rehearsal spaces, and bars. This magazine would place the artistâs voice at its center and invite practitioners to engage with their peers.
Today, BOMB is one of the longest-running nonprofit cultural magazines in the United States and the primary publisher of interviews between emerging, underrecognized, and recognized artists of all disciplines. We rely on a combination of subscriptions, institutional and government grants, and the generous support of our readersâlike you.
