Description

The Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation is pleased to offer travel awards to PhD students who want to travel to Latin America to visit archives, museums, and art collections and connect with local scholars. Exploratory Travel Awards will enable students to develop viable and innovative research projects for future application to pre-doctoral fellowships, including the Marilynn Thoma Pre-doctoral Fellowship in Art of the Spanish Americas. The Exploratory Travel Award is intended to fund travel of 1-2 months in Latin America as preparation for more extensive archival and collections-based research in the future. Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited PhD program. Individuals in Europe and Latin America, where comparable sources of external funding are less available, are strongly encouraged to apply. As with other Thoma Foundation awards and fellowships for individuals, the Exploratory Travel Award is intended for projects that will contribute to the study of the Art of the Spanish Americas (roughly 16th-19th c.). Projects will be considered from all areas of Latin America and the Caribbean; however, the Foundation will give preference to projects that make specific contributions to the history of painting and sculpture in viceregal South America. Applicants must submit a letter of recommendation from their PhD supervisor. Please visit the award's website for more information.
