2) NAISA is relocating to the Artscape Wychwood Barns!!
We are so excited to announce that New Adventures in Sound Art will be relocating in November 2008 to the Artscape Wychwood Barns! NAISA's new address as of November 1st will be 601 Christie Street #172, Toronto, ON M6G 4C7
Look for our grand opening date in the November 2008 edition of the NAISA Sound Channel. This launch will also celebrate the works created during our NAISA Youth residencies as well as to launch the NAISAtron and the NAISA monthly Toronto Artist Soirées.

3) NAISA YOUTH INITIATIVE
Plans are underway for two new exciting youth residencies in the Toronto area scheduled to begin in 2008/09. More information TBA in the November newsletter.
The NAISA youth education initiative includes the creation of new sound art works by youth through collaboration as an outcome to a series of workshops that teach an understanding of basic sound art, electronics, improvisation and composition. Hands-on workshops will include assembling an electroacoustic instrument (the NAISAtron created by Rob Cruickshank), making art with sound, making radio and finally the exploration of sound in space. This initiative is targeted toward youth at high schools, arts centers and community centers. If you are a teacher or run a community centre and are interested in being a part of this youth initiative, please contact Nadene at naisa@naisa.ca .
To date NAISA has created and/or participated in five youth residencies in 2008, each involving 5-15 participants at a time learning to make art with sound. NAISA gratefully acknowledges the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Government of Ontario, SOCAN and the Laidlaw Foundation for their financial support of its NAISA youth initiative.

4) ART'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION on JANUARY 17th, 2009
Art's Birthday is an international celebration of art. New Adventures in Sound Art and the Mississauga Office of Arts and Culture will serve up an audio feast in celebration of Art's Birthday on January 17th. While Mississauga sound and media artists perform at the Erin Meadows Community Centre, special guests will be beamed in via the Internet from other parts of the world. Bound not by transmission medium, weather or creative genre, Art's Birthday will be a feast of the acoustic imagination. Happy One Million and Forty-Sixth Birthday, Art!
