If everyone who visited our websites contributed $5.00, you would collectively have an enormous impact.<p> Many of you may not realize that we are a tiny, <a href="http://new-radio.org"><strong>not-for-profit organization</a></strong>. Helen and I spend much of our time raising funds from government and private foundations to commission networked art. Our mission is to support both emerging and established artists.<p> There are very few resources for new media/networked art in the United States, which makes the process highly competitive. When we succeed, we are only entitled to use a very small percentage of the grants for server maintenance and administrative overhead, which translates into inadequate salaries for ourselves and our system administrator.<p> Our passion for the field has fueled our commitment for many years, but we can no longer sustain <a href="http://turbulence.org"><strong>Turbulence</a></strong>, <a href="http://turbulence.org/blog"><strong>Networked Performance</a></strong> and <a href="http://turbulence.org/networked_music_review"><strong>Networked Music Review</a></strong> without your help. We hope you value them enough to help us keep them alive. Please PLEDGE NOW!<p> WHAT WE’VE ACCOMPLISHED IN 2007<p> In addition to an exceptional year of supporting artists through commissions, public events, and our world-renowned resource, <a href="http://transition.turbulence.org/blog"><strong>Networked Performance</strong></a>, we started a second blog called <a href="http://transition.turbulence.org/networked_music_review/"><strong>Networked Music Review</strong></a> (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.<p> WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN 2008<p> On November 15, NMR began launching <a href="http://transition.turbulence.org/networked_music_review/tags/nmr_commission"><strong>fifteen commissioned works</strong></a>, several of which will premiere live at <strong>Programmable Media II: Networked Music</strong>, a 2-day symposium at Pace University, New York City in April 2008.<p> In addition to launching <strong>20 commissioned works</strong>, other upcoming highlights include <a href="http://turbulence.org/comp_07/awards.html"><strong>Mixed Realities</strong></a>, an exhibition and symposium at Emerson College, winter 2008; and <strong><a href="http://greylockarts.net/networked-realities/">Re(Connecting) the Adamses</a></strong>, a major exhibition co-presented with <a href="http://greylockarts.net">Greylock Arts</a> (Adams, Massachusetts) and <a href="http://www.mcla.mass.edu/Gallery51/">MCLA Gallery 51</a> (North Adams, Massachusetts), summer 2008.<p> Please make a cash tax-deductible (for US residents) contribution. <strong>No amount is too small!</strong> If you do not wish to donate via PayPal simply mail a check to New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc., 124 Bourne Street, MA 02131.<p> Thanks.<p> Kind Regards,<p> Jo-Anne Green and Helen Thorington<br> Co-Directors en-us Donation from Anonymous turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:28:43 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#0 Donation from Matthew Belanger turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:50:37 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#1 Donation from Daniel Belanger turbulence@pledgie.com Tue, 04 Dec 2007 06:53:26 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#2 Donation from Rekha Murthy turbulence@pledgie.com Tue, 04 Dec 2007 19:38:40 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#3 Donation from HARUN BURAK ARIKAN turbulence@pledgie.com Sun, 09 Dec 2007 05:00:06 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#4 Donation from Anonymous turbulence@pledgie.com Sun, 09 Dec 2007 10:46:44 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#5 Donation from Robert Kendall turbulence@pledgie.com Sun, 09 Dec 2007 12:37:51 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#6 Donation from Sharon Carmin Karasic turbulence@pledgie.com Sun, 09 Dec 2007 17:11:27 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#7 Donation from Michael Rizzotti turbulence@pledgie.com Sun, 09 Dec 2007 18:27:15 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#8 Donation from Sasha Harris-Cronin turbulence@pledgie.com Sun, 09 Dec 2007 22:53:09 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#9 Donation from Anonymous turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 10 Dec 2007 01:39:14 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#10 Donation from Anonymous turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 10 Dec 2007 06:24:40 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#11 Donation from marc garrett turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 10 Dec 2007 06:29:58 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#12 Donation from Nick Mariette turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:28:46 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#13 Donation from Anonymous turbulence@pledgie.com Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:49:55 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#14 Donation from ernest bigelow turbulence@pledgie.com Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:13:09 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#15 Donation from Ethan Miller turbulence@pledgie.com Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:59:06 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#16 Donation from Yoshi Sodeoka turbulence@pledgie.com Thu, 20 Dec 2007 08:12:29 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#17 Donation from Steven Read turbulence@pledgie.com Fri, 21 Dec 2007 15:59:04 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#18 Donation from Tamiko Thiel turbulence@pledgie.com Sat, 22 Dec 2007 02:20:39 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#19 Donation from Anonymous turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 24 Dec 2007 08:53:21 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#20 Donation from Anonymous turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 24 Dec 2007 09:04:29 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#21 Donation from eileen magruder turbulence@pledgie.com Wed, 26 Dec 2007 08:05:29 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#22 Donation from Jane Marsching turbulence@pledgie.com Mon, 07 Jan 2008 11:13:13 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#23 Donation from Anonymous turbulence@pledgie.com Fri, 18 Jan 2008 09:08:45 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#24 Donation from Lauren Cornell turbulence@pledgie.com Thu, 24 Jan 2008 07:14:57 -0800 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440 http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/440#25
