Details:
The Foundation does not support grant applications exclusively focused on art of the last three decades. Grants from the Foundation typically support innovative exhibitions that explore new research about American art; innovative and important museum catalogues and books; and conservation and restoration of American masterpieces.
A fundamental goal of the Wyeth Foundation for American Art is to fund programs and proposals that serve as catalysts to achieve greater recognition and understanding of excellence in American art. To that end, the Foundation provides ongoing, pre-doctoral grants to support programs of research and scholarship in American art at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA) at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Research & Scholars Center at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The Foundation also provides ongoing funding for the Wyeth Foundation for American Art Publication Grant program, administered by the College Art Association.
