The Brooklyn Rail
The Brooklyn Rail is an independent, non-profit publication established in October 2000. It originated from a 1998 initiative that began as a weekly broadsheet for New York City commuters. The publication serves as a multidisciplinary forum for arts, culture, and politics, focusing on critical discourse and creative expression. The Brooklyn Rail publishes ten times a year, featuring a variety of content including essays, interviews, poetry, fiction, and criticism related to visual arts, music, film, theater, and politics. It is co-founded by Joe Maggio, Christian Viveros-Fauné, Theodore Hamm, and Patrick Walsh, with Phong Bui playing a key role as publisher. The publication also curates community programs such as art exhibitions, panel discussions, and film screenings to engage with local and global cultural voices. In addition to its print journal, The Brooklyn Rail collaborates on books, including *Tell Me Something Good*, which compiles interviews and portraits by Phong Bui. The organization relies on private donors and art foundations to support its mission of democratizing art criticism and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue.
