Located in the heart of Fort Worth’s Cultural District, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art explores the breadth and complexity of American creativity, with works by many of the biggest names in American art history from the eighteenth century to the present day. The Museum has an expansive collection and robust exhibitions program, and offers a range of events and scholarly research, offering our audiences and visitors new ways to engage with and better appreciate American art.
Fellowships offered
The Davidson Family Fellowship was established in 1996 by a generous gift from the Davidson Family Charitable Foundation. It provides support for scholars holding a PhD (or equivalent) or for PhD candidates to work on research projects that advance scholarship on American art by connecting with objects in the Carter's collection. During their stay, all fellows are expected to actively participate in the scholarly life of the Museum, and at the end of their appointment they are asked to present research progress in the form of a lecture or roundtable discussion.
Funding: $3,000 per month, from a minimum one-month to a maximum four-month period of full-time research at the Museum.
The Gentling Fellowship was established in 2018 as part of a larger initiative to honor and advance the artistic legacy of brothers Scott and Stuart Gentling. The Gentling Fellowship provides support for scholars at the PhD or equivalent level, in a variety of disciplines, whose projects connect with objects in the Carter's Artists Archives collection. Submission of a publication-quality essay and/or participation in a public lecture may be a requirement of select awards.
Funding: $4,000 per month with a $1,000 travel stipend, from a minimum of nine months to a maximum of twelve months of full-time research at the Museum.
The Davidson Family Fellowship deadline is July 1, for fellowships between Oct 1 and Sept 30 of the following year.
The Gentling Fellowship deadline is June 1, for fellowships between Oct 1 and Sept 30 of the following year.
