Deadline: 1 March 2025
The Samuel H. Kress Foundation has launched its Digital Art History Grants Program to foster new forms of research and collaboration as well as new approaches to teaching and learning.
Support may also be offered for the digitization of important visual resources (especially essential art history photographic archives) in the area of pre-modern European art history; of primary textual sources (especially the literary and documentary sources of European art history); for promising initiatives in online publishing; and for innovative experiments in the field of digital art history.
Eligibility Criteria
- Grants are awarded to non-profit institutions that have 501(c)3 status in the United States, which includes supporting foundations of European institutions and foreign institutions that have obtained recognition of exemption from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The project being pursued can be the work of a single individual or a team affiliated with the organization applying for support, but the Foundation does not pay grants directly to individuals.
- This grant program does not typically support the digitization of museum object collections.
Application Requirements
- Organizations submitting a grant application through the portal will be asked to describe:
- The project’s main goals
- The project history to date (if applicable)
- The key activities to be carried out
- Personnel overseeing the project
- The anticipated outcomes of the project
- Applicants will also be required to upload the following documents:
- A detailed project budget in MS Excel
- The IRS determination letter of 501(c)3 status for the organization that will receive and administer the funds
- Additional supporting documents, as necessary, may also be uploaded, including:
- Curriculum vitae for principal investigator(s)
- Conference, workshop, exhibition, or publication schedules
- Images or illustrations
- Letters of support
