CAA News Today

CAA will begin accepting applications for the CAA-Getty International Program on March 15! Thanks to generous support from Getty, the program—now in its fifteenth year—enables scholars from around the world to travel to Chicago to participate in the CAA 114th Annual Conference, February 18–21, 2026. The program features a preconference colloquium on international issues in art history, followed by a week of sessions, workshops, events, museum visits, and professional development opportunities. 

To date, the program has gathered 179 scholars from sixty-one countries, and continues to have significant global impact on the field. These annual convenings have yielded collaboration, community, and lasting connections while also serving to diversify CAA membership, increase international presence at CAA conferences, and foster greater cross-cultural discourse around international art scholarship and practice.

We also invite alumni of the program to apply to return and support first-time participants, take part in program events, and present new scholarship at the Annual Conference in our dedicated CAA-Getty International Program Alumni Session.

The individuals selected for the 2026 program will receive a one-year CAA membership, have their conference registration fee, travel expenses, and accommodation costs covered, and will receive per diems for meals and incidentals.  

International art historians, curators, and other visual arts professionals are encouraged to apply!  

Visit our CAA-Getty page for eligibility and application requirements. All interested Getty applicants, whether new scholars or alumni, will need to submit a general conference application (individual presentation proposal) and indicate their interest in participating in the CAA-Getty International Program. 

Deadline: April 25
