Grants and Fellowships
CAA offers a number of annual and biannual grants and fellowships to its members. Please visit each award’s webpage to learn more.
Professional Development Fellowship Program
The Professional Development Fellowship Program helps MFA and PhD candidates in art and art history to bridge the gap between their graduate study and professional careers. The purpose of the program, initiated in 1993, is to support outstanding students from socially and economically diverse backgrounds who may have been underrepresented in their fields.
The fellowship program has been temporarily suspended for 2009.
Annual Conference Travel Grants
Annual Conference Travel Grants help graduate students in art history and studio art and international artists and scholars to pay for travel expenses to attend the CAA conference.
CAA Annual Exhibition
CAA awards a grant of up to $10,000 to the curator of the CAA Annual Exhibition, held each year during the Annual Conference. An additional grant of $5,000 is also available for an exhibition catalogue to be printed in sufficient numbers for distribution to all conference attendees.
Although the grant for the CAA Annual Exhibition is now suspended, the show for the Chicago conference in 2010 will take place. CAA is still planning for an exhibition to coincide with the centennial conference in New York in 2011.

The Meiss fund has been suspended for fall 2009–spring 2010.
Wyeth Foundation for American Art Publication Grant
The Wyeth Foundation for American Art Publication Grant supports book-length scholarly manuscripts in the history of American art and related subjects.
