History of Art PhD candidate Lauren van Haaften-Schick awarded Smithsonian Institution Fellowship
The Smithsonian American Art Museum has announced the appointment of 21 fellows in the 2020–2021 academic year. The museum’s program hosts fellows appointed by the Smithsonian Office of Fellowships and Internships and grants its own awards for scholars and students to pursue research at the museum, including senior, predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the museum’s fellowship program, which is the oldest, largest and premier program for the study of American art.
