The Center awards fellowships to scholars across various career levels, from predoctoral students to senior professionals. We host around 20 fellows at any given time at the National Gallery of Art and support predoctoral fellows conducting research around the world.
Fellows are at the heart of our residential community, joining appointed professors, postdoctoral research associates, undergraduate interns, and staff to create a thriving group of approximately 50 people. Fellows who relocate are provided office space in the National Gallery’s East Building and housing nearby, subject to availability.
Throughout the academic year, fellows have opportunities to share their research at weekly gatherings and are encouraged to attend lectures, symposia, tours, and gallery talks organized by the Center.
