She Bends is the first and only collective of women bending their own neon.

We are pushing the boundaries of this storied medium beyond the confines of commercial signage.  She bends was started out of a need for support among womxn benders. We foster an ethos of community over competition and believe it is our responsibility to move this craft forward towards sustainability & diversity.

 Our traveling exhibition creates an opportunity for womxn benders to share their work with the communities around the nation and focuses on programming that educates the public on this storied medium. These shows also provide us with a platform to celebtrate womxn who may not be bending their own glass but are taking swings at the glass ceiling in their respective fields.

Our opening night party will feature music turned by the B-side Brujas, bending demos in the fires, refreshing cocktails made with Topo Chico, and beer by Fort Point.

This event is free & open to the public.
