2 The DPS is grateful to our Meeting Sponsors: Universities Space Research Association (USRA) Elsevier University of Arizona Press Southwest Research Institute FOURTH ANNUAL DPS PLANETARY SCIENCE ART EXHIBITION The AAS Division for Planetary Sciences Conference 2015 will be curating The Fourth Annual Planetary Science Art Exhibition, a selection of artwork inspired by and exploring the concepts of the Planetary Sciences. We aim to feature 2-D work in any media, with some spaces for sculpture and digitally native works. We are inviting DPS members as well as local and international artists whose works discuss Planetary Science to apply to be exhibited. Deadline for submission is 24th September To submit your work for consideration please send your name, location, a brief description about yourself (150 words max),the title, media and a description (150 words max) of the piece you are submitting to the exhibition, along with any pictures of the piece to artexhibition.dps@gmail.com [3] by the 24th September Please also refer to the topics page ( [4]) and specify which conference topic your piece is relevant to in your .
