Current News and Announcements

The Archives of American Art is pleased to invite applications from undergraduate faculty whose teaching responsibilities focus primarily on art history to participate in a six-month virtual teaching fellowship that will run from October 2024 through April 2025.

The program will focus on provenance and we are seeking to support United States and international faculty who have had little opportunity to develop skills in provenance or art market studies. Extensive use will be made of the digitized records of dealer Jacques Seligmann & Co.

This six-month fellowship will involve meeting online twice a month for seminars with prominent guest speakers, peer-to-peer feedback sessions, and focused workshops. The curriculum is designed to help each participant create teaching modules and assignments that center provenance research and digital art history and make use of Archives’ online resources. Fellows will work closely with Archives staff and consult with the program's experienced mentors, who will provide expert guidance and feedback.

Each of the ten fellows will be awarded an honorarium of $5,000 for participation in the program. Participants will also receive a $1,000 Digitization on Demand stipend for digitizing materials not available on the Archives website but deemed necessary for their teaching.

We value diversity and strive for broad representation among participants, including faculty from city or community colleges or who lack professional development opportunities.

For a full program description, schedule, and application requirements, please visit the Samuel H. Kress Foundation Teaching Fellowship 2024–2025 page. The application deadline is August 30, 2024.
