Mission Statement: New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. (NRPA) was founded in 1981 to foster the development of new and experimental work for radio and sound arts. From 1987 to 1998, the organization commissioned and/or distributed over 300 original works for public radio and introduced American radio art to European audiences. It was considered the single most influential source of radio art in America. New American Radio is partially archived at http://somewhere.orgn 1996, NRPA extended its mandate to net art and launched its pioneering Turbulence web site. Turbulence commissions artists exploring the Internet, and who both use existing applications and technologies and develop new ones to create innovative work.
