To support the 2012 and 1023 Terra Research Travel Grants, which have been awarded annually since 2003. The grants support short-term travel, providing scholars studying American art outside the United States an opportunity to consult resources which are only available in the U.S. The grants make it possible to discover new source material; experience artwork in American collections first-hand; make personal contact with artists, curators, art dealers, etc.; and establish professional networks for future research.
