Description
The Publication Subvention Grants from the New Foundation for Art History are designed to assist art history scholars—regardless of career stage—who are publishing books, especially in less developed fields where challenges such as image acquisition, rights, or lack of institutional support impede publication. These grants aim to promote diversity and equity in art history by supporting projects that might otherwise struggle to secure publication funding. The grant is particularly attuned to applicants who face significant barriers, such as high costs for images or the need to commission new photography, and who may not have robust institutional resources.
