Currently both programs on both rims provide a furnished living space, focused studio time, and public outreach and presentation opportunities for selected artists. AiR artist proposals should be site-specific to Grand Canyon National Park, support the park’s Interpretative Themes, and will focus on such issues as ecology, the environment, park advocacy, conservation and other themes relevant to the parks. Selected participants will be notified by mid-August. For more information please contact Rene Westbrook at 928-638-7090 or Rene_Westbrook@nps.gov.

(ARTISTS/MEDIA ARTISTS) Exploratorium Residency in San Francisco
The Exploratorium is a museum of science, art, and human perception. Scientists, educators, exhibit developers, and artists - in residency and staff positions engage in an interdisciplinary approach to both the investigative process and the production of work, which leads to new thoughts, tools, and things. It is a museum filled with interactive science and art exhibits, a national center for teacher development, and host to an award-winning Web site of new teaching resources. Fundamentally, it is a laboratory for the research and development of cultural and scientific innovation, discovery, and play.
Given the resources and strengths of the Exploratorium, artists should be interested in interdisciplinary dialogue, open to new and engaging modes of information gathering, and curious regarding potential collaboration. Local, national, and international artists are welcome to apply. Local residents receive open access to facilities, a budget for materials and food, and a monthly stipend. Typically, local artists are in residence anywhere from one month to one year. We are more interested in subsidizing a long-term relationship than a short-term product. National and international artists receive travel and lodging coverage in addition to materials, food and stipend. Stipends range from $1000-5000. National and international artists are in residence anywhere from one week to one month. Partners and children are allowed. If accepted, the program houses artists in nearby hotels, cabins or private houses. Residents make their own meals but groceries are provided (artists can turn in receipts for up to $50 per day.) Collaborators may apply as a team. Proposals are open all year. Questions about opportunities for artists should be directed to Pamela Winfrey (415) 561-0309 (pamw@exploratorium.edu), or Jordan Stein (415) 353-0405 (jstein@exploratorium.edu).
