For a quarter century – NEW ADVENTURES IN SOUND ART TURNS 25 in 2026! – NAISA has been presenting outstanding installations and performances featuring renowned local, national, and international artists.

Our goal is to reach $25K by January 31, 2026 to help maintain this excellent programming. If 1000 of you, our wonderful supporters, give just $25 by January 31, 2026 – we will reach our goal! Of course, any amount would help. So, no worries if you wish to donate less — or more — if you are interested and able.

NAISA’s annual operating funding thankfully has been maintained year over year, but the costs associated with presenting each year have increased substantially and so we are reaching out to you, our supporters, with this ask.

There are THREE ways you can donate and help us continue to serve the artistic community:

  • Send your contribution to NAISA’s Paypal Donation Page
  • Send an e-interac payment (an e-transfer) to naisa at naisa dot ca
  • Send a cheque to New Adventures in Sound Art, 313 Hwy 124, South River, ON, P0A 1X0

NAISA North Media Art Centre & Café
