Fellowships

The fellowship programs for researchers and artists at Bard Graduate Center are designed to promote research in the areas of decorative arts, design history, and material culture.

Fields of the Future fellowships promote diversity and inclusion in the advanced study of the material world. These fellowships for scholars and artists reflect BGC’s commitment to explore and expand the sources, techniques, voices, and questions of interdisciplinary humanities scholarship from different perspectives.

Visiting fellowships provide scholars from university, museum, and independent backgrounds who have already secured funding with non-stipendiary support, including workspace, research collections access, and the opportunity to join dynamic, intellectual, and scholarly community at BGC and in New York City.
