The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Research Center sponsors full-time scholarships in American Modernism from the late nineteenth-century to the present.  Stipends are awarded to historians in the fields of art, architecture and design, literature, music and photography.  Research Center scholars have access to the archive and library collections of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum as well as collections from archival and library institutions across the Albuquerque and Santa Fe communities.  In addition to those resources, the scholarship program strives to provide a supportive community and environment for scholars to pursue their research and writings. 

 

The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum is pleased to announce the winners of the 2014-2015 Research Center scholarships.
