The Institute for Art and Olfaction (IAO)
| Ways to help |
Lab VolunteersWe are looking for a few good people who can give us 3 hours of time on Wednesday afternoons or evenings. You’ll replenish dilutions on the student organ, set the space up for Wednesday evening Open Sessions, and help new students get set up choosing materials.General Front of House VolunteersWe need a little help managing the space during our open hours on Tuesday afternoons. General help around the IAO, including library organization, experimental scent organ clean-up and management, front of house duties such as greeting guests and explaining our mission, and project-by-project miscellaneous tasks and needs. We might also need help with occasional light space maintenance duties such as painting, taking out trash, organization, clean up and sweeping. Occasional light laboratory assistance work like dilutions or pulling materials. |

| 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. |

Talking trash.... Living in cities has always meant living with smells. The olfactory experiences of urban environments are not happenstance; they're as constructed as the architecture.
@NuriMcBride lectures on the topic Monday online for @artandolfaction.
