MISSION / PROGRAMS
Founded in Brooklyn, in 1997, as an artists' collective creating works for radio transmission, in 2002, free103point9 became a nonprofit arts organization focused on cultivating Transmission Arts. This genre encompasses a diversity of practices and media working with the idea of transmission or the physical properties of the electromagnetic spectrum (the airwaves). Now based in upstate New York’s Greene County, on 30 bucolic acres called Wave Farm, free103point9’s major programs include the Wave Farm Residency Program; the creative community radio station WGXC 90.7-FM; and the Transmission Arts Archive. In addition, free103point9 manages a Regrant Program for the New York State Council on the Arts, Electronic Media and Film, providing distribution support to New York media artists and technical support to New York Media art organizations.
