Without missing a beat, the ARTxFM DJs have been there for you everyday -- all day -- with news, entertainment, and the lastest health information. ARTxFM programming depends entirely on the generosity of our listeners. Each year we focus our fundraising around the 24-hour GIVE FOR GOOD event sponsored by the Community Foundation of Louisville. This friendly competition between area nonprofits offers fun prizes and rewards that help everyone's donation go further. Thanks to our supporters last Give for Good, we were able to host the first ever VIRTUAL GRASSROOTS RADIO CONFERENCE featuring keynote speakers Chuck D and Will Oldham. Since that time, ARTxFM has facilitated monthly meet-ups of America's community radio stations and led national advocacy efforts for FCC agenda items such as the LPFM 250 wattage increase. Likewise, ARTxFM had the honor of partnering with Xtendsound and the Pacifica Network to expand the influence of Louisivlle Community Broadcasters. All while providing Emergency Broadcasting Services to the Kentuckiana region 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. ART FM programs can now be heard on WXOX 97.1 FM and WXND 100.9 FM locally and on artxfm.com worldwide.

We love you and are so grateful for your support. Looking forward to celebrating with you all!  Since 1996, the Grassroots Radio Conference has brought together community-minded radio stations to share ideas, technology, and conversation. Each each year the event is hosted by a station in a different part of the country. 2020 was to be ART FM's opportunity to host the conference at WXOX Louisville. Unfortunately, global pandemic circumstances are forcing a delay of this in-person conference. In the meantime, we are trying something new . . . For the first time ever, ART FM will bring college and community stations from around the world together online for a GRC Virtual Summit! While the pandemic will make our gathering more difficult, it does not make it impossible! Grassroots stations are more important than ever to a global listenership in distress. We cannot miss this important opportunity to come together to share ideas, exchange information, and build connections within the community. Mark your calendars for October 9 - 11 as we embrace the available technology and unite for three days of online talks, workshops, and networking activities focusing on today’s most pressing issues in radio.

Market Street 6:30 PM Unsilent Night is an original composition by Phil Kline, written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December. It takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer. Each participant gets one of four tracks of music in the form of a cassette, CD, or Mp3. Together all four tracks comprise Unsilent Night. The fact that the participants play different "parts" simultaneously helps create the special sound of the piece. Participants carry boomboxes, or anything that amplifies music, and simultaneously start playing the music. They then walk a carefully chosen route through their city's streets, creating a uniquemobile sound sculpture which is different from every listener's perspective.

NuLu 6 PM Unsilent Night is an original composition by Phil Kline, written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December. It takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer. Each participant gets one of four tracks of music in the form of a cassette, CD, or Mp3. Together all four tracks comprise Unsilent Night. The fact that the participants play different "parts" simultaneously helps create the special sound of the piece. Participants carry boomboxes, or anything that amplifies music, and simultaneously start playing the music. They then walk a carefully chosen route through their city's streets, creating a uniquemobile sound sculpture which is different from every listener's perspective.
