Description
Funded by the Getty Foundation and organized by the Getty Research Institute (GRI), these fellowships support emerging researchers making substantial and original contributions to art history. Predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows pursue theme-related research, complete dissertations, or expand dissertations for publication. They join senior scholars in the Getty Scholars Program’s residential cohort, with access to GRI collections, weekly lectures, and Getty’s intellectual life.
Dedicated fellowships through the African American Art History Initiative (AAAHI) support critical inquiry into African American art and its frameworks. These projects should generate new knowledge and help make African American art history more visible to the public and accessible to scholars worldwide. Research may address all periods and media and a broad range of theoretical and methodological traditions.
