Description
Senior Fellowships at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, the National Gallery of Art’s research institute, support full-time research in residence. The program welcomes scholars from any discipline whose work examines art or artifacts or contributes to the analysis, interpretation, and criticism of visual art or visual culture.
Named fellowships cover subjects ranging from European art before the early 19th century to modern and contemporary art, with other categories open to any period or geographical area. Fellows draw on the Gallery’s library and art collection and the resources of greater Washington. They receive an office in the East Building and participate in lectures, colloquia, and discussions within the Center’s scholarly community.
