Support Rhizome

Rhizome supports the creation, presentation, and preservation of art engaged with the internet and new technology. Founded in 1996 to support an emergent avant-garde of artists working with the Internet, Rhizome began as an informal email list and has grown into a robust web-based non-profit organization that offers multiple programs and resources. These include preservation through an online archive, annual grant-giving to emerging artists through the Commissions Program, the publishing of in-depth essays and interviews on artists or ideas in the field, and resources that connect and further the international community around this field. Rhizome relies on the community we serve for support! This Campaign is completely essential to us this year -- and you can help by making a contribution. Become a member! Renew your membership now! Make a donation of any size, in exchange for an amazing limited artworks or just because you want to help a nonprofit out.

You can become a member on an individual or organizational level.

We receive support from foundations, government agencies and our wide base of members.
