Fellowship: Wolfsonian Fellowship Program
The
Wolfsonian–Florida International University is a museum and research
center that promotes the examination of modern visual and material
culture. The focus of the Wolfsonian collection is on North American and
European decorative arts, propaganda, architecture, and industrial and
graphic design from the period 1850-1945. The United States, Great
Britain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands are the countries most
extensively represented. There are also smaller but significant holdings
from a number of other countries, including Austria, Czechoslovakia,
France, Japan, the former Soviet Union, and Hungary. The collection
includes works on paper (including posters, prints and design drawings),
furniture, paintings, sculpture, glass, textiles, ceramics, lighting
and other appliances, and many other kinds of objects. The Wolfsonian’s
library has approximately 50,000 rare books, periodicals, and ephemeral
items.
Fellowships are intended to support full-time research,
generally for a period of three to five weeks. The program is open to
holders of master’s or doctoral degrees, Ph.D. candidates, and to others
who have a significant record of professional achievement in relevant
fields. Applicants are encouraged to discuss their project with the
Fellowship Coordinator prior to submission to ensure the relevance of
their proposals to the Wolfsonian’s collection. For more information,

The application deadline is December 31, for residency during the 2018-19 academic year.
