Publication Grants - The MET (Due Mar. 31)
Publication Grants - The MET
Deadline: March 31st, 2025
The Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art invites applications for grants supporting publications in the field of modern art and theory, and modern visual culture.
We use the term ‘modern art’ inclusively to refer to architecture, drawing, design (including exhibition, graphic, interior and stage design), film, painting, performance, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and textiles in the period from the last third of the nineteenth century through to the 1960s, from any country region or culture.
Please note: if your application lies outside this definition, it will not be considered.
Grants are for book-length manuscripts, peer-reviewed edited volumes or, in exceptional cases, peer-reviewed journal articles. Grants are open to authors worldwide, normally for English language publications (exceptionally other languages may be supported).
The case for support must demonstrate the need for the grant to facilitate the publication of the scholarly work and show why the grant will enhance the scholarly value and the reach of the work. The production costs of the work should be included, identifying the elements of the costs to be supported by the Lauder Center Publication Grant. The funds sought should not represent most of the costs of production unless a clear case is made to justify this. Overheads or other operational costs are not eligible for funding. The track record of the publisher or press in supporting scholarship in the visual arts, and especially modern art, may be considered.
The Center will award up to six grants per annum, typically between $4,000 and $7,000, with no single grant more than $12,000 to be awarded. There are two application rounds per year with deadlines of September 30 and March 31.
