ADAA Foundation Curatorial Awards 

2014 Applications are AVAILABLE NOW.  Download one here.

The ADAA Foundation Curatorial Awards were established in 2012, with the first awards given in 2013, to support yearly fellowships for a curator in a pre-World War II field and a curator in a post-World War II field.    Each Awardee recipient receives $10,000 in fellowship grant money to be applied toward research and development expenses associated with an exhibition.

The program is intended to honor exceptional curatorial visions and help museums advance deserving projects with funds for early research and development. Working in collaboration with the Association of Art Museum Curators, the ADAA and AAMC Foundations form Award juries to narrow down the initial application pool of over forty proposals to the two finalists. The AAMC Foundation administers the grants on behalf of the ADAA.

 "Supporting curators while they are in the nascent stages of developing an exhibition is of great interest to the ADAA Foundation,” says Dorsey Waxter, President of the ADAA, "We are delighted to have been able to provide this support and look forward to future collaborations between curators and dealers.”

The AAMC is grateful for the ADAA Foundation’s support.
