Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts
Fellowships Offered | Current Fellows
The Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, a research institute that fosters study of the production, use, and cultural meaning of art, artifacts, architecture, and urbanism, from prehistoric times to the present, was founded in 1979. The Center encourages a variety of approaches by historians, critics, and theorists of art, as well as by scholars in related disciplines of the humanities and social sciences.
The resident community of scholars consists of the Samuel H. Kress Professor, the Andrew W. Mellon Professor, the Edmond J. Safra Visiting Professor, the A. W. Mellon Lecturer in the Fine Arts, and approximately twenty fellows at any one time, including senior fellows, visiting senior fellows, research associates, postdoctoral fellows, and predoctoral fellows. In addition, the Center supports approximately twelve Predoctoral and Visiting Senior Fellows who are conducting research both in the United States and abroad. The programs of the Center include fellowships, meetings, research, and publications.
The Center's current annual report, Center 28: Record of Activities and Research Reports, June 2007–May 2008 (PDF 7.75MB), contains information regarding each of the Center's four programs. It also includes research reports by fellows who were in residence during the 2007-2008 academic year.
