A Message from the Director

When I founded NEXMAP in 2005, I imagined audiences and artists exploring new landscapes in performing art disciplines through the lens of rapidly changing technologies. Looking back, I am delighted by what we have achieved:

• We've presented 20 different events featuring over 36 internationally renowned artists from the Bay Area, Mexico, France, Japan, Switzerland and Canada.


• Inside/Out, our outreach initiative, has reached hundreds of under-served youth offering free admission and a post-event dialogue with cutting edge performers. As well, we’ve provided unique hands-on workshops to demystify new technologies.


• We created a state wide recording award culminating in an album release Sounding Out California.

In 2010 we are planning a one-day Festival in October: 8 hours of music, art installations and live performances, and several professional and youth workshops. We need your support to make it happen.

NEXMAP is proud that we do so much with so very little: 65% of the work accomplished is done by volunteers who are also artists themselves. NEXMAP does not have administrative overhead, not even office space! That means every penny of every donation goes directly to artists, to artistic production costs, or to support our outreach programs.

Please join us by making a contribution today. We are committed to bringing innovative and inspiring visual, performing, and musical arts programming to the San Francisco Bay Area, but we need your help now more than ever do to so. NEXMAP is an independent 501 (c ) (3) non-profit organization and your tax-deductible contribution is essential to our work. I hope you can help us.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Bouchard
