Travel Grants for the Annual Conference
The deadlines for CAA’s three travel grants for the 2013 Annual Conference in New York have passed. Please check this page in May 2013 for an update on the programs.
CAA offers Annual Conference Travel Grants to graduate students in art history and studio art and to international artists and scholars. In addition, the Getty Foundation provides funding for a program that enables applicants from outside the United States to attend the conference. Applicants may apply for more than one grant but can only receive a single award.
