IMA Trailblazers

Your Impact

IMA Trailblazers are a network of like-minded change makers who understand the essential role of art in contemporary life. Their united support enables emerging Queensland artists to realise transformative new work each year through the IMA's Platform program. As a Trailblazer, you’ll be a part of an active and social network who are invited to exclusive experiences such as artist studio visits, interstate arts events, and tours.

Platform is an annual career-development program with proven impact on the profile and capacity building of early-career artists. From 2027 to 2029, donations to Platform up to $20,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar thanks to our program partner, Shayher Group.

Platform 2027 will be on display January–March featuring artists Amanda Bennetts, Adam Cole, Savannah Jarvis, Daniel Sherington, and Prita Tina Yeganeh.

Trailblazers make a tax-deductible commitment of $1,000 or above a year. Your contribution can be made annually or monthly, and can be cancelled at any time.
