Overview
The Clark Art Institute combines a public art museum with a complex of research and academic programs, including a major art history library. The Clark is an international center for discussion on the nature of art and its history.
These fellowships are open to scholars working on any aspect of visual art, material culture, art history, and adjacent fields, with a variety of term lengths available, ranging from a 6-week summer term (these fellows are not expected to give a public lecture, only a semi-private work-in-progress talk) to a full academic year.
Details
Fellowships are awarded every year to established and promising scholars with the aim of fostering a critical commitment to inquiry in the theory, history, and interpretation of art and visual culture. As part of our commitment to cultivating diverse engagements with the visual arts, RAP seeks to elevate constituencies, subjects, and methods that have historically been underrepresented in the discipline. Furthermore, we are particularly committed to supporting scholarship that reveals the systemic inequalities of art history as a discipline and challenges us to address these inequalities as we move forward differently. All fellowships are intended to nurture a variety of disciplinary approaches and support new voices in art history.
Fellows are furnished with offices in the library, located in the Manton Research Center, which contains a collection of 200,000 books and 700 periodicals. The Clark is within walking distance of Williams College, its libraries, and its art museum. The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) is a ten-minute drive away.
