How you help

We need a handful of trustworthy, friendly, kind-hearted and self-motivated people to help us out with some of the basic tasks it takes to run a non-profit public space that deals with scent. You will also be one of the people representing the world of scent to the general public.
About us

Founded in September 2012, The Institute for Art and Olfaction is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit devoted to advancing public, artistic and experimental engagement with scent. We do this by initiating and supporting arts projects that utilize the medium of scent, by providing accessible and affordable education in our experimental laboratory, our project space as well as in partnership with institutions and community groups, and by celebrating excellence in independent, artisan and experimental perfumery through our yearly award mechanism, The Art and Olfaction Awards. Through these efforts, we extend the world of scent beyond its traditional boundaries of appreciation and use.
