The Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art announces its program for Paul Mellon and Ailsa Mellon Bruce Visiting Senior Fellowships. Fellowships are for full-time research, and scholars are expected to reside in Washington; housing is provided, subject to availability. Applications will be considered for research in the history, theory, and criticism of the visual arts of any geographical area and of any period. Proposals relating to the Center’s new Initiative in African American Art and Scholarship are especially welcome. Visiting senior fellowships (up to 60 days) are intended for those who have held the PhD for five years or more at the time of application, or who possess an equivalent record of professional accomplishment.
