Welcome!

Welcome to New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc.'s (NRPA) New American Radio web site!

In its ten years as a weekly national series, NAR commissioned and distributed over 300 original works: conceptual new drama, associational documentary, language explorations, sonic meditations, environmental compositions, musical explorations and works that pioneer new dimensions in acoustic space.

New American Radio went off the air in 1998, however, NRPA—in partnership with Wesleyan University, and with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts—is now in the process of creating a digital archive. One hundred and forty works are archived at Wesleyan and available on this site. For the first time, you can enjoy these works in their entirety online. [read an article]

Along with the full-length works, we're updating artist's biographies and creating a comprehensive list of interesting radio and sound art web sites. Please return regularly to take full advantage of these resources. [read more]
