At the encouragement of SF Estuary Partnership conference organizers, WEAD is soliciting proposals for interactive, science-based works that address a broad range of topics as they affect the massive SF Estuary system. Some possibilities include: the status of fauna, flora or microorganisms; water quality issues; the impacts of climate change; flooding and drought; marine, brackish or freshwater gradient; efforts regarding conservation and restoration.

​

This is an unusual opportunity to install your artwork in a large science conference with regional and statewide attendees; a chance to engage directly with scientists who may share your interests. 

​

3D, freestanding works or tabletop works are especially encouraged. Videos may also be possible.

​

No artwork may be affixed to the walls in this historic suite.
Easels may be used for 2D works.

​

Preference will be given to proposals that demonstrate some level of interactivity.
 

You might consider “game” structures, puzzles, manipulation, or active dialogue.

 

A jury, including a scientist, will select up to 7 proposals by individuals or teams.

 

A small stipend ($100 per submission) will be available to cover materials, transportation and parking for accepted artists.
