Freewaves creates public media art events that bring diverse audiences and independent media artists together in dialogue on current issues.  Media arts include the work of artists who use communication technology – video, film, the web, and mobile devices.  Freewaves has pioneered every new development in the field of media art, establishing itself as one of the most respected and adventuresome advocates for raising media arts to a truly democratic vector for ideas and images.

Support will go towards “Dis…Miss,” a multi-genre, public visual art experience with media and performance arts components.  Twenty artists will be commissioned to make projects to be featured on six websites that will explore issues facing women today, with the goal to saturate Hollywood.
