The Getty Foundation has awarded CAA a grant to fund the CAA-Getty International Program for a ninth consecutive year.

About the Award: The 2020 CAA-Getty International Program will support fifteen art historians, museum curators, and artists who teach art history to attend the 108th CAA Annual Conference in Chicago from February 12-15, 2020.
CAA-Getty International Program
Since it began in 2012, the program has brought 120 scholars to the conferences, from forty-six countries located in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and South America. Each year, a preconference colloquium on international topics in art history inaugurates the week, kicking off four days of conference sessions, meetings with new colleagues, and visits to museums and galleries. Subsequent to these events, the program has generated many scholarly collaborations, including publications, conferences, and exhibitions.
Type: Conference
Eligibility:
Applicants must be practicing art historians who teach at a university or work as a curator in a museum, or artists who teach art history.
They must have a good working knowledge of English, be able to obtain a visa to travel to the United States, and be available to participate in CAA events.
Only professionals who have not attended a CAA conference previously, and who are from countries underrepresented in CAA’s membership are eligible to apply.
The grant excludes scholars from North America, Western Europe, Israel, and Australia, whose countries are well represented in CAA. It further excludes scholars who have received funds from American foundations or research institutes to participate in conferences or residencies in the United States.
Applicants do not need to be CAA members.
This grant program is not open to graduate students or to those participating in the CAA conference as chairs, speakers, or discussants.
Number of Awards: 15-20
Value of Award:
The program includes a one-day preconference colloquium on international issues in art history on February 11, at which grant recipients will present and discuss their common professional interests and issues.
The grant will also fund five alumni from the CAA-Getty International Program to participate in the preconference colloquium and speak at a session during the conference. As they have in previous years, representatives from CAA’s hosted program participants during the conference week.
