Call for Applications, 2024–2025
The Tyson Scholars of American Art program supports interdisciplinary scholarship that seeks to expand the boundaries and traditional categories of investigation
into American art from any time period. Since its inception in 2012 through a $5 million commitment from the Tyson family and Tyson Foods, Inc., the Tyson Scholars Program has supported the work of 67 scholars, attracting academic professionals in a variety
of disciplines nationally and internationally.
Crystal Bridges and the Tyson Scholars Program invite PhD candidates (or equivalent), post-doctoral researchers, and senior scholars from any field who are researching
American art to apply. Scholars may be focused on visual art, architecture, craft, visual and material culture, performance art, or new media. We also invite applications from scholars approaching US art transregionally and looking at the broader geographical
context of the Americas, especially Latinx and Indigenous art.
Fellowships are residential and support full-time writing and research for terms that range from six weeks to nine months. While in residence, Tyson Scholars have
access to the art and library collections of Crystal Bridges as well as the library and archives at the University of Arkansas in nearby Fayetteville. Stipends vary depending on the duration of residency; position as senior scholar, post-doctoral scholar,
or PhD candidate; and range from $34,000 to $17,000 per semester, plus provided housing. The residency includes $1,500 for relocation expenses and additional research funds upon application. Scholars are provided workspace in the curatorial wing of the Crystal
Bridges Library. The workspace is an enclosed area shared with other Tyson Scholars. Housing is provided in a fully furnished, shared four-bedroom, four-bathroom house within walking distance of the museum. Each scholar will have their own bedroom and ensuite
bathroom with shared living room and kitchen.
