Wind Fair    Call for Artists    FAQ

Call for Artists

The Exploratorium is looking for artists and makers interested in sharing their creative process and tools with the public. Acceptance will be based on the compatibility of the artwork to the event theme: exploring wind (wind in nature, making wind visible, and wind’s interactions with humans and living organisms). All artwork must be designed and handmade by the artist.

Call for artists is closed. Thank you for your interest. Look for us at San Francisco's Pier 15 in the Spring of 2013.
