Description and Requirements
The Wyeth Fellowship in American Art Histories promotes research in the history of American art and visual culture, including Native Art. The fellowship welcomes research projects addressing the art, artists, and material culture of the United States from the colonial era to mid-twentieth century.
The Clark Art Institute’s Research and Academic Program (RAP) awards funded residential fellowships to established and promising scholars with the aim of fostering a critical commitment to inquiry in the theory, history, and interpretation of art and visual culture.
As part of our commitment to fostering diverse engagements with the visual arts, RAP particularly seeks to elevate constituencies, subjects, and methods that have historically been underrepresented in the discipline. In addition to the general Clark Fellowships, which are open to any topic, time period, and geographic focus, RAP offers a number of special fellowships for specific research interests that are intended to nurture a variety of disciplinary approaches and support new voices in art history.
All fellows receive a stipend; are provided offices in the open-stack, 280,000-volume art history library of the Manton Research Center; apartments in the gracious residence across the street from our 140-acre campus; and reimbursement of travel expenses.

Applications are due by October 15, 2026 for the fellowship period covering summer 2027–spring 2028.
