Beauford Delaney Research Grant - 2023 Application Period Is Now Open

Beauford Delaney
1953 - Carl Van Vechten

In 2021, the Bourse Beauford Delaney-Villa Albertine (Beauford Delaney Research Grant) was launched as a collaboration between Villa Albertine and the Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA). Supported by the Ford Foundation, it funds travel and other expenses related to research projects on African-American art undertaken by France-based academics and scholars.

Les Amis covered the launch of the prize in a two-part article in May 2021. Find the links below:

The winner of the first award was Vanina Géré of France. Her project was entitled "Hacking Control Devices": Contemporary African-American Political Digital Practices (and Beyond).

The winner of the 2022 award was Paul-Aimé William of Guyane. The title of his project was "James Amos Porter, Historiographie and Humanities of African-American Art".

On Thursday, February 16, 2023 I received an email from the Studies and Research Department at l'INHA announcing that the field is now open for applications for the 2023 edition of the grant:

This year's $20,000 award is reserved for established researchers.
