Menil Drawing Institute Pre-Doc Fellowship

This residential Pre-Doctoral Fellowship is open by application to American and international students whose doctoral research focuses on modern and/or contemporary drawing or adopts a transhistorical approach to the medium. The Menil Drawing Institute’s fellowship program fosters the highest level of scholarship and makes possible rich, interdisciplinary, object-based conversations on the drawing medium’s history, theory, criticism, and practice.

Fellows receive a stipend ($3,000 per month) to cover living and other expenses incurred during the 9-month fellowship, lasting from September to June, and they are housed in a fully furnished apartment within a recently refurbished historic bungalow on the Menil campus. They are assigned a workspace at the Menil Drawing Institute to use for the duration of the fellowship and have access to the collections, archives, library, and staff at the Menil.
