Scholarship

Since 1978, the Terra Foundation for American Art has sought to promote an international dialogue on American art via the formulation and exchange of new ideas. Besides supporting a variety of lectures, symposia, and scholarly publications through grants to institutions, the foundation supports individual scholarship by offering residencies, fellowships, and travel grants.

Over the years, the foundation has awarded pre-doctoral, post-doctoral, and senior scholar fellowships to individuals whose projects enrich the field of American art scholarship.The foundation's flagship fellowship program in Europe is the Terra Summer Residency.

Symposia

Terra-supported symposia, colloquia, and panel discussions create local, national, and international forums for the exchange of ideas and points of view. Check the calendar for upcoming Terra-sponsored events.

Publications

The foundation funds scholarly publications and texts related to symposia and exhibitions to disseminate new research and perspectives on American art.
