Green Papaya Art Projects (GPAP) is the longest-running independent artist-run space in Metro Manila, Philippines. Founded by artists Norberto Roldan and Donna Miranda in 2000, it aims to provide a platform that organizes and supports intellectual communication, creative dialogues, and collaboration among the contemporary art community, especially for the young emerging artists in Asia. As stated in its initiative, the name "Green Papaya" is a metaphor for freshness, which suggests that the art space is always in a state of becoming.

Originally established at a condominium building near the University of the Philippines, with its next move to a converted garage, then a two-level apartment. Mediating between galleries, universities, and individual artists, Green Papaya Art Projects hosts exhibitions, residency projects, and artists' talks in an effort to generate new conversations. It also published a magazine titled Papaya in 2008 on Philippines contemporary art.

In 2010, Green Papaya Art Projects brought its programs to the No Soul For Sale Festival of the Independents at Tate Modern in London, and the New World: Night Festival at the National Museum of Singapore.
