Call for Applications
2022-2023

The Tyson Scholars Program supports full-time writing and research, with insider access to American art and architecture at Crystal Bridges, and expertise throughout Northwest Arkansas.

The Tyson Scholars Program supports interdisciplinary scholarship that seeks to expand boundaries and traditional categories of investigation into American art and visual culture.

Scholars focused on architecture, craft, material culture, performance art, and new media are welcome to apply. We also invite applications from scholars approaching US art transregionally and looking at the broader geographical context of the Americas, including Latinx and Indigenous art. Applications will be evaluated on the originality and quality of the proposed research project and its contribution to a more equitable and inclusive history of American art.

Apply for the 2022-2023 season and join a community of scholars at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Deadline to apply is January 14, 2022.
