Modern Art Projects Blue Mountains (MAPBM) is a contemporary arts association that commissions, advocates for, and produces dynamic projects and exhibitions in unique contexts in the Blue Mountains and surrounds. Our membership comprises over 60 artists, curators and arts-workers engaging in a range of creative disciplines, who are resident in - or whose practice is located in/related to - the Blue Mountains or Western Sydney. We foster situations that support professional creative enquiry and practices, developing new critical agendas for contemporary art in the region. Resourceful and proactive, MAPBM enables opportunities for artists and audiences that extend beyond traditional exhibition models, and contribute to a wide range of contemporary art dialogues and projects that seek to activate unique or under-utilised spaces.
