Bridge Announces Launch of its Long-Planned Book Publishing Division

In planning by members of the core artistic collective and finally voted forward by the Bridge Board of Directors, plans for the launch of Bridge Books were recently affirmed and set in motion.

“It’s an exciting time to be working here at Bridge. In development since 2018, the announcement of Bridge Books comes with a slate of fascinating titles, projects and partnerships launching in 2023,” says Bridge Executive Director Michael Workman. “Along with these come the capacity for additional plans to expand the reach of our not for profit programming to new audiences, customize development of our own independent media distribution networks, and integrate it all with other media channels also currently in development, including our alternative streaming service, Bridge Video, our Audio and Sound Art archives and new series of special projects, some also also years in development.”
