The Italian Art Society offers a grant of up to $1,000 each year to support international conference, symposium, or other speaking-engagement-related travel to the United States by scholars working on Italian art from the early nineteenth century to the present.
Scholars of any nationality are eligible to apply but must have received their Ph.D. by the time of application, must be presenting papers on a topic focused on Italian art dating to the early nineteenth century or later, and must be traveling internationally.
Preference will be given to applicants participating in a conference in which the IAS sponsors a session (whether the applicant is speaking in this session or not), is an affiliated conference sponsor, or is eligible to be listed as a sponsor. These include, but are not limited to:
- College Art Association (CAA)
- American Association for Italian Studies (AAIS)
- Society of Architectural Historians (SAH)
Kindly submit applications on the IAS Conference Travel Grant for Modern Topics page.
The application deadline is December 15, 2026.
Recipients must be Italian Art Society members when they apply and when they receive the award. They must also not have received an IAS award in the previous two years. IAS officers are not eligible to apply.
