Artistička radna akcija (meaning: "Artistic Work Action", also known under the acronym: ARA) is a new wave and punk rock compilation album released in 1981 by Jugoton in SFR Yugoslavia.
It presents a snapshot of the early 1980s Belgrade underground music scene through bands Radnička Kontrola, Bezobrazno Zeleno, Profili Profili, Defektno Efektni, Urbana Gerila, Petar i Zli Vuci, U Škripcu, Pasta ZZ, VIA Talas and TV Moroni, all of whom took part in the compilation as means of showcasing their material to a wider audience.
Still, despite employing a similar concept, Artistička radna akcija never managed to replicate the critical and commercial success of its predecessor.
Unlike Paket aranžman, which featured three young acts that almost immediately became critically acclaimed, even commercially successful, each one of the ten bands on Artistička radna akcija (with the exception of U Škripcu) remained largely obscure.
Still, many of the individuals who took part in Artistička radna akcija found success in other bands, other forms of artistic expression or other professions altogether, such as: In the years since its release, Artistička radna akcija has managed to gain some slightly wider recognition as a referential work that endeared itself to many, and, along with Novi Punk Val and Paket aranžman, is considered an important symbol of the Yugoslav new wave era and the former Yugoslav punk scene.
