Applications must be in English and printed or typewritten. There are no formal deadlines; however, much of the curating occurs on an annual basis in October and November. Please make sure you have included all the requested data and required materials. Refer to the Application Checklist below before final submission. Please send all materials in one packet.

Please include the following materials in your application packet:

	Completed application form.
	Current resume.
	Collaborative proposal, if applicable.
	Background information, slides, and other supporting materials.
	Self-addressed, stamped return mailer. Your work samples cannot be returned unless they are accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. All materials without a SASE will not be retained following the jury process. (If you are accepted, all application materials will be kept in the Exploratorium's archives.) Applicants from outside the United States may include an international postal order or response coupon to cover return postage.

The AIR Program encourages and welcomes the participation of artists from all backgrounds and does not discriminate with regard to race, sex, sexual preference, disabilities, religion, marital status, or nation of origin in its acceptance policies.
