BOMB Magazine’s 37th Anniversary Gala & Auction
BOMB Magazine was launched in 1981 because its founders––NYC artists and writers––wanted to publish conversations that reflected the way practitioners spoke about their work among themselves. As a result, BOMB reinvented the interview as a dialogue between artists about the creative process. BOMB’s method changed the nature of cultural discourse; the artist’s voice is now at its center. Today, BOMB has transformed into a multi-platform publishing house that creates and disseminates artist-generated content. This revelatory discourse extends from our 90 contributing editors (all practicing artists) and 400 annual contributors to our 1.5 million online readers. Half of these readers are under the age of 30 and use the ideas and history encapsulated in BOMB to make their own creative leaps. All of BOMB’s content from 1981 onward—over 7,000 primary cultural documents—is available for FREE at bombmagazine.org.
