Fulbright/NAF Gree Polder and Charles Stapper Fellowship in Dutch and Netherlandish Art

This Fellowship focuses on Dutch and Netherlandish Art, distributed by the Netherland-America Foundation. Building on the enduring heritage and values shared between the peoples of the Netherlands and the United States, the Netherland-America Foundation (NAF) seeks to further strengthen the bonds between our two countries through exchange in the arts, sciences, education, business, and public affairs. The fellowship is a 9-month Study/Research Partnership Award that supports research and graduate study in Dutch and Netherlandish Art. There is a preference for proposals centered around women artists in the Golden Age. Fields of study within art may be interpreted broadly, and can include fine arts like painting, silver craft, woodworking, literature, poetry, translation, and other cultural expressions. Proposals in art conservation are ineligible to receive this Fellowship. The grant provides a monthly stipend, international travel benefits through KLM, health benefits, and access to over 400 museums in the Netherlands. Grantees must attend mandatory orientation meetings and participate in a cultural excursion program organized by the Dutch Fulbright Commission throughout their stay.
