FAQ:
What is it and how does it work?
InCUBATE invites persons of all disciplines to do self-directed creative projects. We are looking for people who are interested in the discussion between art and the everyday; who want to do interdisciplinary research and work in tandem with the members of InCUBATE to create research tools and resources that will be available for public use. To apply, please mail or email us a detailed description of a proposed project, a portfolio of past research and projects in whatever format you choose, and a cover letter/resume.
