The Audrey Flack Short Term Fellowship

One Audrey Flack Short-Term Fellowship  will be awarded annually in support of a one-month (thirty-day) residency. Residencies must take place between June 1, and May 31, and begin on the 1st or 15th of the month. The Audrey Flack Short-Term Fellow will receive a stipend of $5,000 to support travel to and living expenses in Washington, D.C. Housing is not provided.

The Audrey Flack Short-Term Fellow will be provided with a Smithsonian badge and a study carrel in SAAM’s Research and Scholars Center, located just one floor above the Archives of American Art and the American Art/Portrait Gallery Library. During their tenure, the fellow will have the chance to share their research with other SAAM fellows and attend various lunchtime seminars and professional development events. We welcome applications from qualified persons of color; who are Indigenous; with disabilities; who are LGBTQ+; first-generation college graduates; those from low-income households; and who are veterans. The Smithsonian does not discriminate on grounds of race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, parental status, or marital status.
