Yale Center for British Art

Register for Landscape Symposium at YCBA

Register for "A Legacy of Landscape Study" at the Yale Center for British Art co-sponsored with Oak Spring Garden Foundation.The Yale Center for British Art (YCBA) and Oak Spring Garden Foundation (OSGF) share a legacy of landscape study rooted in the collections of Paul and Rachel Lambert “Bunny” Mellon. While the Mellons’ collecting practices differed, they both gathered significant materials in the history of British environments, horticulture, and landscapes. Notable examples include Paul Mellon’s paintings and prints by George Stubbs and J. M. W. Turner and Bunny Mellon’s garden treatises and Humphrey Repton Red Books. From these origins, the YCBA’s extensive collection of British art has encouraged generations of new scholarship on British landscape art, while OSGF has become a leading research institution for the global histories and futures of gardens, landscapes, and plants. Inspired by this legacy of collecting and scholarship, the YCBA and OSGF are hosting a symposium at Yale to bring together new interdisciplinary research on British landscape studies.By commingling the diversity of approaches to the histories and depictions of landscapes and environments represented by the two institutions, this symposium aims to generate new scholarly conversation about the intersections of British culture, ecology, and land.This symposium will be held at Hastings Hall, Yale School of Architecture, on December 5–6, 2024.

Applications are invited for the Audrey Flack Short-Term Fellowship at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The deadline to apply is February 1. The renowned artist Audrey Flack (1931–2024) generously established this short-term award in recognition of her personal journey balancing intensive career demands with raising two daughters, one of whom has autism. A single Audrey Flack Short-Term Fellowship will be awarded annually in support of a one-month (30-day) residency. Residencies must take place between June 1, 2025, and May 31, 2026, and begin on the 1st or 15th of the month. The Audrey Flack Short-Term Fellow will receive a stipend of $5,000 to support travel to and living expenses in Washington, D.C. Housing is not provided. The Audrey Flack Short-Term Fellowship is open to predoctoral, postdoctoral, and senior scholars researching topics in American art who reside, work, or attend school outside of commuting distance from Washington, D.C. Researchers whose personal circumstances (i.e., financial constraints, employment conditions, care-giving responsibilities, or other limitations) preclude them from participating in longer-term residencies are encouraged to apply. Applicants should submit a statement of need justifying the rationale for a short-term fellowship. More information on submitting an application can be found on our How to Apply page.
