The National Museum of Women in the Arts has announced the inaugural Suzanne and James Mellor Prize, an award of US $50,000 to fund original research and authorship of a scholarly volume on a woman artist or subject related to the mission of the museum.
This year’s Award Committee will consider book proposals on monographs concerning artists active before 1850.
“The Mellor Prize allows the museum to have a powerful presence in shaping scholarly dialogue on women in the arts,” states NMWA director Susan Fisher Sterling.
“The award encourages the highest quality of scholarship in the field. We are extremely grateful to Suzanne and Jim Mellor for this generous contribution and for their continued support of the museum’s academic mission.”
Applications may be mailed to the attention of Jason Stieber, Mellor Prize Competition at 1250 New York Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20005, USA. All applications must be received by April 30, 2009 in order to merit consideration.
