Students from Rachel Stephens’ seminar on American portraiture at the University of Alabama visiting the Birmingham Museum of Art to view the exhibition, “Black Out: Silhouettes Then and Now” in 2019.
In fall 2018, we announced CAA had received an anonymous gift of $1 million to fund travel for art history faculty and their students to special exhibitions related to their classwork. The generous gift established the Art History Fund for Travel to Special Exhibitions. We are happy to accept new applications again for this upcoming year.
The fund is designed to award up to $10,000 to qualifying undergraduate and graduate art history classes to cover students’ and instructors’ costs (travel, accommodations, and admissions fees) associated with attending museum special exhibitions throughout the United States and worldwide. The purpose of the grants is to enhance students’ first-hand knowledge of original works of art. Interested members can also see recent awardees share their experiences at the session at the CAA Annual Conference at the session Art History Fund for Travel to Special Exhibitions: Sharing Stories.
Applications are due by January 15, 2023.
