Award—Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship

National Portrait Gallery and National Museum of American History

The Smithsonian has awarded fellowships to 10 accomplished visual artists from an international pool of candidates as part of the 2024 Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship Program. Over the course of a one- to two-month residency, each fellow will conduct research at Smithsonian museums and research centers to inform the development of innovative, cross-disciplinary work.

Artists are nominated by a Smithsonian research staff member and then selected by a panel of Smithsonian art curators and representatives from the science, history and culture communities. Over 115 artists from around the world have received Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship Awards since the program began in 2007.
