Call for Nominations: 2024 Charles C. Eldredge Prize
The Smithsonian American Art Museum is now accepting nominations for the 2024 Charles C. Eldredge Prize. The prize is awarded annually by the museum for outstanding scholarship in the field of American art. A cash award of $3,000 is made to the author of a recent book-length publication that provides new insight into works of art, the artists who made them, or aspects of history and theory that enrich our understanding of America's artistic heritage. The Eldredge Prize seeks to recognize originality and thoroughness of research, excellence of writing, clarity of method, and significance for professional or public audiences. It is especially meant to honor those authors who deepen or focus debates in the field, or who broaden the discipline by reaching beyond traditional boundaries.
Single-author books devoted to any aspect of the visual arts of the United States and published in the three previous calendar years (2021, 2022, 2023) are eligible. To nominate a book, send a one-page letter explaining the work's significance to the field of American art history and discussing the quality of the author's scholarship and methodology. Nominations by authors or publishers for their own books will not be considered. The deadline for nominations is January 15, 2024. Please send to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
