History of Art:
Travel Fellowships

  • Fifteen to twenty Kress Travel Fellowships in the History of Art for travel required for the completion of dissertation research on European art. Stipends generally range from $3500 to $10,000. Dissertation research must focus on European art before 1900.
  • Restrictions: Restricted to pre-doctoral candidates in the history of art. Nominees must be U.S. citizens or individuals matriculated at an American university.
  • Application procedures: Candidates must be nominated by their art history department.
  • Each art history department is limited to one nominee.
  • Deadline: November 30.

Advanced training in European art history requires direct exposure to the object of study, prolonged access to key information resources such as libraries and photographic archives, the development of professional relationships with colleagues, and immersion in European cultures. These related needs are often best satisfied by flexible opportunities for travel in Europe. Kress Travel Fellowships are intended to provide promising young professionals with the opportunity to experience this kind of engagement.
