No official application forms or specific guidelines, nor could I find an official deadline, but there is apparently a high volume of submissions.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art http://www.sfmoma.org
"Hope this helps. In order to submit work for consideration, please send a cover letter, resume and slides to the appropriate curatorial department (painting + sculpture, photography, architecture + design, or media arts). These materials can be directed to: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 151 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 "
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.) http://www.si.edu/hirshhorn
"The Hirshhorn Museum receives many requests from individual artist about our reviewing their work. We consistently suggest that they send a selection of slides of their work to our Associate Curator, Olga Viso. The maxium number of slides we can accept is six. The slides are then projected at meeting of the museum staff for the department of Public Programs and view by approximately 20 individuals, including curators.
The slides are projected onto a screen approximately 4' x 6' in the Board Room of our
museum, approximately 25' x 40'. Only one image is projected at a time.
Supporting material like bios are generally not reviewed at that meeting, but are
available for anyone who wishes to see them. I'm not sure what you mean by
"slide list", but in each case as a work is projected the artist, title, date,
media and dimensions are all read out loud--assuming that info is included by the artist.
In some cases it is not. The number of artists view at a given time is
between 15 and 40. We never know how many artists we will hear from during a
particular time and it is unpredictable. That part is a bit of a lottery.
There is no deadline. If your slides arrive after a meeting has completed, we hold
the slides until the next month. In a few cases, we have to cancel a meeting due to
staff or exhibitions schedules. We then hold the slides until the next month to
project them. Everyones slides are seen.
As far as a link to the museum's website is concerned, I do not know how to answer that.
I'm inclined to think not because we are an agency of the federal government and to
my knowledge are not linked in any way. I would also say that we give this same
information and opportunity to any artist who contacts us. However, at one point we
were hearing from sooooooo many artists, up to 5 a day, that we nearly had to scrap the
whole project. It became very unwieldy and there was not enough clerical staff to
handle it. We now have LESS staff to handle these inquiries as we have had budget
cut backs. However, individuals at the meetings seem to look forward to the slides
presentation. If its known there are between 100 & 150 artist's work to view,
the meetings get a bit long and a few people may nod off.
I hope this answers your questions. We are not the most technologically advance
group around, and our set up is for slides. We'll watch for yours. It is
against our policy to give written reviews in such cases, but this does offer exposure to
artists that they might otherwise not have. You are welcome to take advantage of
this. The address is as follows:
