Rape Art Productions is an Ecuadorian independent record label founded in 2002.

Also from the US, Panicsville has released a CD on Rape Art Production in 2003. Many famous Japanese noisemakers have also been released, they include Daruin, the seminal band Dissecting Table, Government alpha and Astro. In 2006, Rape Art Productions released a very limited CD by the Japanese cyberpunk author Kenji Siratori.

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or productions:
“The trade of advertising is now so near perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement. But as every art ought to be exercised in due subordination to the public good, I cannot but propose it as a moral question to these masters of the public ear, whether they do not sometimes play too wantonly with our passions.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“If in many of my productions terror has been the thesis, I maintain that terror is not of Germany, but of the soul.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
