Dear Friends,

We cannot continue without your help. We MUST raise $25,000 by December 31, 2007. If you are one of the thousands of people who regularly visit Turbulence, Networked Performance, Networked Music Review and / or New American Radio ; are one of the hundreds of teachers who use Turbulence works in your new media / digital art courses; are an artist who has received a Turbulence, Networked Music Review or New American Radio commission; have presented at or attended Upgrade! Boston (Art Interactive or Massachusetts College of Art and Design), Floating Points (Emerson College), or Programmable Media (Pace Digital Gallery) … now is the time to give something back.

WHAT WE’VE ACCOMPLISHED IN 2007

In addition to an exceptional year of supporting artists through commissions, public events, and our world-renowned resource, Networked Performance, we started a second blog called Networked Music Review (NMR). On it you will find in-depth interviews with sonic artists and musicians; world-wide events highlighted in real time; a “Weekly” post spotlighting interesting works, artists and conversations; a monthly newsletter which summarizes each month’s activities; and much more.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN 2008

On November 15, NMR began launching fifteen commissioned works, several of which will premiere live at Programmable Media II: Networked Music, a 2-day symposium at Pace University, New York City in April 2008.

In addition to launching 20 commissioned works, other upcoming highlights include Mixed Realities, an exhibition and symposium at Emerson College, winter 2008; and Re(Connecting) the Adamses, a major exhibition co-presented with Greylock Arts (Adams, Massachusetts) and MCLA Gallery 51 (North Adams, Massachusetts), summer 2008.

Please make a cash tax-deductible (for US residents) contribution. No amount is too small! Go to Pledgie right now or send a check to New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc., 124 Bourne Street, MA 02131.

Thanks.

Kind Regards,
