We are down but not out. Our fourth big NOTAUSGABE (emergency issue ) issue will be a celebration of this extraordinary year. The issue will feature new works from the Black & Blue 2 exhibition opening at BMCC gallery in Katoomba NSW. The issue launch will coincide with the exhibition opening on August 28, 2020.

The Blue Mountains has suffered the double whammy of fires then lockdown and as a region that relies almost exclusively on tourism, times are very tough. Your donation will help us to raise the funds to print, distribute and give away 15000 free copies of our 4th issue in what is our most difficult fundraising year yet. Well over $60000 value of creative volunteer time and assets go into each issue and any surplus funds raised over print and productions costs will be directed back to the many worthy creatives who volunteer their time and talents to the project.

We can't do it without the generosity of our many supporters.  To show you how much we appreciate your vital support, we are giving  those who make a donation of over  $25 a listing with your name and location or website in our lavish double page "Roll of Honour" centre spread.

Copies of all Blume Illustrated issues are preserved in the NSW State and National Library of Australia for generations to come and your name will live on a someone who kept culture alive long after this extraordinary year comes to a close. Our digital issues are all also online free.

Donations of $25 - $49 will get you a 25 character listing in our wings panels.

Donations of $50 and over will give you a listing of up to 35 characters in bold, in the centre panel.
