Situated within the spectacular Hudson Valley, Wave Farm is free103point9's upstate New York location. Home to artist residencies, a performance and exhibition series (see listings to the right), a transmission sculpture garden, and a forthcoming study center, the property features ponds, meadows, walking paths through a mature pine forest, and mountain views on 30 pastoral acres in the northern foothills of Catskill Mountain Park. Performers and resident artists from around the world have come to free103point9's Wave Farm in Acra, New York (near town of Cairo) including Scanner (England), Sophea Lerner (Finland), and Shou Wang (China).

Wave Farm is open to the public during several summer and fall events and by appointment year-round. Many performances at Wave Farm are accessible only through web video and audio streams at www.free103point9.org. Please contact us to schedule a visit.

Wave Farm's entrance is a blacktop driveway on the right across from a bright blue house. If you pass the Gilded Grape or Edison Timmerman Road, you've gone too far.

Call Hudson Riverview Taxi (518) 828-3355 to have a taxi waiting for you at the station.

Adirondack Trailways Bus runs two buses a day from New York's Port Authority to Cairo, 5 miles southeast of Wave Farm. The bus drives right by the Wave Farm driveway after Cairo on the way to Windham. At the driver's discretion he or she may stop the bus anywhere on route that is safe, so you may be able to have them stop right at Wave Farm's entrance.
