Visual AIDS | Call for Research Proposals

Visual AIDS announces the third year of our research fellowship program, which supports original writing and scholarship about artists who have been lost to AIDS. Application Deadline: June 18, 2024 Research fellows will work with Visual AIDS to develop a piece of original writing for the Visual AIDS website, illuminating the life and work of an artist lost to AIDS. The Visual AIDS Research Fellowship will provide four fellows with a $1,000 research stipend and editorial support. Fellows will conduct research on artists who have been lost to AIDS, drawing on primary sources in the Visual AIDS Archive Project and other archival collections, as well as interviews with estates, families, and friends.
