CAA News Today

CAA invites nominations and self-nominations individuals to serve on The Art Bulletin Editorial Board for a four-year term, July 1, 2026–June 30, 2030. We are currently seeking to fill two positions on the board; current members are listed on the CAA website.

The ideal candidate has published substantially in the field and may be an academic, museum-based, or an independent scholar (institutional affiliation is not required). The Art Bulletin features leading scholarship in the English language in all aspects of art history as practiced in the academy, museums, and other institutions.

The Editorial Board plays an active role in advising The Art Bulletin Editors-in-Chief by suggesting authors, articles, and other content for the journal; performs peer review and recommends peer reviewers; advising books for review and potential book reviewers; may propose new initiatives for the journal, including roundtable content; and may support fundraising efforts on the journal’s behalf. Members also assist the Editors-in-Chief to keep abreast of trends and issues in the field by attending and reporting on sessions at the CAA Annual Conference and other academic conferences, symposia, and events in their fields.

The Art Bulletin Editorial Board meets three times per year, with meetings in the spring and fall plus one at the CAA Annual Conference in February. The spring and fall meetings are held remotely over Microsoft Teams. Members pay travel and lodging expenses to attend the conference in February. Members of all Editorial Boards volunteer their services to CAA without compensation.

Candidates must be current CAA members in good standing and should not be serving on the Editorial Board of a competing journal or on a CAA committee. Members may not publish their own work in the journal during the term of service. CAA encourages applications from colleagues who will contribute to the diversity of perspectives on The Art Bulletin Editorial Board and who will engage actively with conversations about the discipline’s engagements with differences of culture, religion, nationality, race, gender, sexuality, and access.

Nominators should ascertain their nominee’s willingness to serve before submitting a name; self-nominations are welcome. Interested applicants—both self-nominated or nominated by someone else—should submit a CV and a cover letter as one PDF document to Eugenia Bell, CAA Editorial Director.

Deadline: March 31, 2026

CAA is now accepting applications for the Millard Meiss Publication Fund and the Wyeth Foundation for American Art Publication Grant. These grants support book-length scholarly manuscripts in the history of art, visual studies, and related subjects that have been accepted by a publisher on their merits but cannot be published in the most desirable form without a subsidy.

The Millard Meiss Publication Fund supports the publication of books on any period or area of art history and visual studies.

The Wyeth Foundation for American Art Publication Grant supports the publication of books on the art of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Application instructions and criteria can be found here.
