Modern Fuel supports innovation and experimentation, and is committed to the education of interested publics and the diversification of its audiences.

Syphon is an arts and culture publication produced by Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre that is meant to act as a conduit between the arts community in Kingston and communities elsewhere. Syphon has a mandate to feature local, national, and international arts coverage with an emphasis on arts scenes and activities that are located outside of the major art centres found in larger cities. Its purpose is to encourage public awareness, understanding and appreciation of the arts in the city of Kingston and beyond; to increase the exposure of experimental and non-commercial art practices and increase the public understanding of such practices and, especially, to act as a record and communiqué for small regional arts communities throughout the country.
