In 2020, BOMB compiled resources to address the many challenges facing our contributing artists and readers this year: the pandemic, economic precarity, and heightened violence against BIPOC communities.
We wanted to re-share these lists with you as we think toward the new year.

From artist relief to testing sites, our COVID-19 resource page is an evergreen and evolving place to find information about the pandemic. We will continue to update this article as developments arise. https://bombmagazine.org/articles/artists-resources/
Our ever-growing resource list to support #BlackLivesMatter
began after George Floyd’s murder in the summer. Recently, we have added ways to support Black businesses, including @NonameBooks's list of Black-owned Bookstores. https://bombmagazine.org/articles/blm-support-resources-and-links/

Every quarter, we share fellowship and residency opportunities for artists. Especially during quarantine, a chance to get away and create art is more vital and needed than ever. Check out the winter opportunities accepting applications in the new year. https://bombmagazine.org/articles/fellowships-and-residencies-fall-winter-2020-2021/
In the summer, we launched FUSE: A BOMB Podcast. In this limited series, we ask an artist to select a peer from any creative field to discuss their work and process. No host, no moderator, no interruptions. Just two artists in conversation. https://bombmagazine.org/podcast
We also moved our events online, culminating in two new programs: A Room with a View and EOD. These events brought our mission to bring artists together into the virtual space.
