CAA
has begun accepting applications from MFA and PhD students for its
Professional-Development Fellowships in the Visual Arts and Art History.
For the current cycle, CAA will award grants of $10,000 each to
outstanding students who will receive their terminal degrees in the
calendar year 2016. One award will be presented to a practitioner—an
artist, designer, and/or craftsperson—and one award will be presented to
an art, architecture, and/or design historian, curator, or critic.
Fellows also receive a free one-year CAA membership and complimentary
registration to the 104th Annual Conference in Washington, DC taking
place February 3–6, 2016.
Honorable mentions, given at the discretion of the jury, earn a free
one-year CAA membership and complimentary conference registration.
CAA’s fellowship program supports promising artists, designers,
craftspersons, historians, curators, and critics who are enrolled in
MFA, PhD, and other terminal degree programs nationwide. Awards are
intended to help the students with various aspects of their work,
whether it be for job-search expenses or purchasing materials for studio
art/design practice. CAA believes a grant of this kind, without
contingencies, can best facilitate the transition between graduate
studies and professional careers.
