PUBLICATION GRANTS - Terra Foundation for American Art

•Application Deadline

15.01.2013

Through our publication grants, the Terra Foundation for American Art provides support for publication projects on historical American art (circa 1500 to 1980) that make a significant contribution to scholarship and have an international dimension. “International dimensions” vary by project, but include translations of important texts on American art; publications that are written by non-U.S. scholars or that have a significant number of non-U.S. contributors; and publications with a focused thesis exploring American art in an international context. The grants are designed to advance and internationalize scholarship on American art and provide individuals outside the United States with greater access to resources in the field. Applications will be judged competitively on an annual basis.

Projects must be under contract for publication. The Terra Foundation strongly encourages proposals for:

Books/articles examining American art in an international context,
Books/articles for publication outside the United States,
Internationally collaborative projects,
English-language translations of books/articles originally written or published in another language, or
Translations of books/articles originally written or published in English.
The Terra Foundation does not accept proposals for new exhibition catalogues (as these are supported through our exhibition grants) or collection catalogues. Translations or reprints of exhibition catalogues originally published prior to 2005 will be considered if they contain substantial scholarship.

Books may receive a grant up to $30,000. Articles may receive a grant up to $3,000.
