Magazines matter, never more so than during the pandemic. Arts organisations of all kinds are finding new ways to inform, to communicate, and to entertain.
ABR – diminished but undimmed by the present crisis – is committed to supporting freelance writers and to delivering thoughtful journalism to readers. Please consider supporting the magazine. Donations and subscriptions enable us to pay our writers properly and to maintain our diverse suite of prizes, fellowships and programs.
