Application deadline: Sep 30, 2024
Applications are open until September 30, 2024, for the Fall round of Leonard A. Lauder Publication Grants, supporting peer-reviewed books, edited collections, essays and articles in the field of modern art.
We use the term ‘modern art’ inclusively to refer to architecture, drawing, design (including exhibition, graphic, interior and stage design), film, painting, performance, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and textiles in the period from the last third of the nineteenth century through the 1960s, from any country, region or culture.
Recognizing the increasing costs associated with publishing, awards support illustrations and copyright, translations into English, diagrams, copy editing and indexing (if not provided by the publisher). The maximum award available is $12,000 with most grants typically in the range $4,000-7,000.
Applications are assessed by a panel, and detailed information on the application materials to be submitted, the eligible costs, the award criteria, and previous awardees, are all available on the Research Center website.
