Cincinnati Art Museum Luce Fellowship Program

The purpose of the Cincinnati Art Museum's Luce Fellowship Program is to promote a greater understanding of the history of the visual arts in Cincinnati by advancing scholarship in this area.  The Fellowship Program, generously funded by the Luce Foundation, encourages research activity at the pre- or post-doctoral level by making available the art and archival collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum.  Candidates will be selected to either initiate new research or continue work on an existing topic in the art of Cincinnati that draws upon the Museum's outstanding holdings of Cincinnati fine and decorative art.  Scholars will be provided access to these collections for object-oriented research.  The fellowship is not intended to directly support thesis or dissertation preparation but should be considered an independent study program that reflects the candidate's major interest and builds upon previously demonstrated proficiency.

Proposals are sought from candidates knowledgeable about the history of American art and culture.   Proposals from qualified individuals in related disciplines are welcome.  Preference will be given to proposals that relate specifically to Cincinnati Art Museum collections and resources.  Awards are based upon merit and are open to all qualified individuals.

The fellowship stipend is $3,500 for a minimum four-week period of full-time research at the Cincinnati Art Museum.  The application deadline is January 5, 2004.  Applicants must submit a letter of intent that includes a detailed plan of work (approximately four pages), curriculum vitae, official transcripts, and three letters of recommendation to Anita Ellis, Chief Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs, Cincinnati Art Museum, 953 Eden Park Dr, Cincinnati OH  45202.
