New Adventures in Sound Art is a non-profit arts organization that owns and operates the NAISA North Media Arts Centre & Café at 313 Highway 124, South River, Ontario, Canada. NAISA is in the centre of a welcoming village of 1000 people that is located a short distance from Algonquin Park and is surrounded by wonderful natural escapes and a variety of local shops.
The cafe at the NAISA North Media Arts Centre is open year round and offers Muskoka Roastery Coffee, home-baked goodies and vegan soups. The Centre hosts exhibitions, performances and workshops of innovative sound art all year and it is the broadcast location for NAISA Radio.
“NAISA is the acronym for New Adventures in Sound Art. Undertaking new adventures in sound and media art has been a focus for the organization since its founding in 2001. Throughout NAISA’s history it has challenged artists and audiences alike with alternative ways of listening and presenting sound. NAISA purchased a building in November 2021 that is new permanent home for the organization in South River, an unprecedented step in the growth of sound art in Canada.” —Darren Copeland, Artistic Director, New Adventures in Sound Art
