The Dedalus Foundation’s Senior Fellowship supports writers and scholars pursuing critical and historical studies of twentieth-century painting, sculpture, and allied arts. It funds specific research and writing projects, rather than the making or commissioning of artworks.
The program is intended for applicants who have demonstrated their abilities through previous accomplishments. Applicants describe their project’s significance for the general understanding of modern art and modernism, where they will undertake the research and writing, and their expectations for publication. A jury of distinguished scholars selects the fellowship recipient.
