Predoctoral Fellowships for Historians of American Art to Travel Abroad
Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts
National Gallery of Art

• The Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts offers up to six fellowships to doctoral students in art history who are studying aspects of art and architecture of the United States, including native and pre-Revolutionary America. This fellowship is for a period of six to eight weeks of continuous travel abroad in areas such as Africa, Asia, or South America, as well as Europe, to sites of historical and cultural interest, including museums, exhibitions, collections, and monuments. The travel fellowship is intended to encourage a breadth of art-historical experience beyond the candidate’s major field, not for the advancement of a dissertation. Preference will be accorded to those who have had little opportunity for professional travel abroad. The amount of the award is dependent on the travel plan, with a maximum of $4,500. A narrative report at the conclusion of the travel period is required. Individuals currently affiliated with the National Gallery of Art are not eligible for this fellowship.
