The artists' in this show are members of the29.art. We started as an art experiment, to explore power structures that grant access - to money, exposure, a voice in the art world, and entry into the global art market – and to create opportunities for self-identified women working in the arts. It is a group of more than 29, well-established, mid-career, and emerging artists, diverse in practice, medium, age, ethnicities, and backgrounds.

Harvestworks Inc was founded as a not-for-profit organization by artists in 1977, Harvestworks has helped a generation of artists create new works using technology. Our mission is to support the creation and presentation of art works achieved through the use of new and evolving technologies. Our goals are to create an environment where artists can make work inspired and achieved by electronic media; to create a responsive public context for the appreciation and understanding of new work by presenting the finished works; and to bring together innovative practitioners from all branches of the arts collaborating in the use of electronic media. We assist with commissions and residencies, production services, education and information programs, and the presentation and distribution of their work.
