Grants and Fellowships
Grants and Fellowships for CAA Members
CAA offers a number of annual and biannual grants and fellowships to its members. Please visit each award’s webpage to learn more.
Professional-Development Fellowships
CAA’s Professional-Development Fellowships in the Visual Arts and Art History support promising artists and art historians who are enrolled in MFA and PhD programs nationwide. Fellows are honored with $5,000 grants to help them with various aspects of their work, whether it be for job-search expenses or purchasing materials for the studio. CAA believes a grant of this kind, without contingencies, can best facilitate the transition between graduate studies and professional careers. Deadline: September 30, 2011.
Annual Conference Travel Grants
Annual Conference Travel Grants help graduate students in art history and studio art and international artists and scholars to pay for travel expenses to attend the CAA conference. CAA will begin accepting applications for the 2012 Annual Conference in Los Angeles in early July 2011. Deadline: September 23, 2011.
You may donate to the Annual Conference Travel Grant at any time.
