History
The magazine was founded in 1992 by Lisa Howdin and Peter Spicer.[4] The first edition of BMA came out in February 1992, it was tabloid in size and the cover featured Tex Perkins,[citation needed] and included coverage of the NirvanaNevermind tour.[5] A small office (3m x 3m) was established upstairs at Gorman House where often both editors and contributors worked simultaneously.[citation needed]
A full set of the magazine can be found at the Canberra Library and at the National Library of Australia.[citation needed]
In 2013, BMA Magazine opened a curated exhibition, Canberra at Street Level, to mark its 21st anniversary.
Notably, for the first time in the magazine's 26-year history, an issue was not published in March 2018.
