| The Smithsonian American
Art Museum supports research fellowships on topics in art and visual
culture of the United
States. Predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships are awarded in an
annual competition administered by the museum and the Smithsonian’s
Office of Fellowships and Grants. Other types of appointments, with
and without stipends, are available to scholars. Research resources
at the museum include an unparalleled collection of art of the United
States—almost 40,000 objects—from the eighteenth century
through the present day; an extensive study collection relating to
the work of assemblagist Joseph Cornell (1903–1972); a library,
shared with the National Portrait Gallery, that contains 100,000
catalogued volumes on American art, history, and biography; the Inventories
of American Painting and Sculpture listing information on more than
300,000 paintings and sculpture in public and private collections
around the world; slide and photographic archives of more than 250,000
images documenting American art and artists; and the Renwick Gallery,
a curatorial department of the museum that features modern and contemporary
American craft. The application deadline is January 15 for awards
beginning the following June 1. |
