The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. are inviting applications for their Senior Visiting Fellowships.

Here are the fields of study available:

Paul Mellon Visiting Senior Fellowships, Beinecke Visiting Senior Fellowships, and Leonard A. Lauder Visiting Senior Fellowships support research in the history, theory, and criticism of the visual arts of any period or geographical area.

For the Leonard A. Lauder Visiting Senior Fellowship, we especially encourage applications that contribute to scholarship in understudied areas.

We welcome applications from scholars in any discipline whose work examines art or artifacts or has implications for the analysis, interpretation, and criticism of visual art or visual culture.

Applications must be in by 21st March 2026 and stipends depend on the fellowships applied for. Click on the link above for the full terms and conditions.

Good luck if you're applying!
