All: The deadline has been extended until April 2, 2021. Best, Laura Dear ARLIS-L, Applications for the 2021 Samuel H Kress Foundation Virtual Conference Attendance Award for International Exchange<https://www.arlisna.org/about/awards-honors/171-samuel-h-kress-foundation-award-for-international-travel> are now being accepted. Thanks to the generosity of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the Art Libraries Society of North America offers a program to help fund international travel and promote the exchange of ideas and information among art librarians. Because most conferences including ARLIS/NA will be virtual this year, we are repurposing the funds for conference scholarships. Exceptional art information professionals will receive awards of $150-$500 (USD) to underwrite conference registration and attend conferences virtually, thereby fostering communication and developing connections with international projects and initiatives. There are two categories of awards: * For European librarians and art information professionals to attend the annual conference of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA). The 49th Annual Conference<https://arlisna.org/stl2020/> will be held virtually, organized by colleagues in Montreal, Quebec from May 11-13, 2021. * For ARLIS/NA members to attend the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Art Libraries Satellite Meeting or another European art library conference. IFLA will hold their World Congress<https://www.ifla.org/node/93537> virtually most likely sometime during the last two weeks of August 2021. NOTE: ARLIS/UK & Ireland will hold their virtual conference<https://arlis.net/> July 21-23, 2021 (this conference will be without charge this year). The generous grant from the Kress Foundation will allow ARLIS/NA to make multiple grants to conference participants. The application submission<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfwn0LQPip1v8dfNUrIfLVPGdp38M2rKlNdPD0puSkxSMk8dA/viewform> deadline is April 2, 2021.
