About Organizational Subscriptions

Rhizome.org is a nonprofit dedicated to internet and new media art. Our programs support the creation, presentation, discussion and preservation of contemporary art that uses new technologies in significant ways. Find out more about Rhizome.

Organizational subscriptions are group memberships to Rhizome that allow members of institutional communities (such as students, faculty or artists) to gain access to all of Rhizome's resources and services without having to pay for membership individually. Organizational Subscriptions have been designed and priced for universities, art schools, art centers, libraries, clubs, etc. Check out a recent review of Rhizome's Organizational Subscription Program in Art Libraries Journal.

Note: If you are an organization interested in subscribing or needing to renew your subscription, please contact Nick Hasty, Rhizome's Director of Technology, at nick.hasty@rhizome.org

How to Subscribe

In order to access the full range of Rhizome's resources, your organization can subscribe annually to an email and IP based account. Email-based subscriptions allow administrators to give out individual accounts, whereas IP access can activate entire areas such as a computer lab in a library or arts facility.* If you are interested in purchasing an organizational subscription, please contact Nick Hasty, Rhizome's Director of Technology, for further information at nick.hasty@rhizome.org
