Bridge Productions is still in the process of transitioning to an arts journal platform. Keep checking back in, and look for regular posting to begin in June 2019.

What drives this change? In part: over the last year, Seattle has lost its singular arts publication, City Arts Magazine, and our major newspapers, magazines, and weeklies have slashed arts sections in favor of lifestyle and commerce. This has forced political activists and the arts community to assert our visibility in a changing cultural, social, and economic landscape. This platform hopes to bridge these diverse but fractious communities to collectively discuss their unique but analogous issues through our creative ventures. Bridge Productions issues a challenge to reimagine the connective potential in the numerous and creative intersections of our  collective industries.

In the year ahead, I will resume posting a broad range of writing with a renewed focus on these intersections, including short and long form writing about art, exhibitions and ecosystems, politics and economies, gentrification, activism, social justice, and other aspects of the current state of our shared artistic and creative climates.
