Located in the foundation’s houses in Giverny, France (about one hour from Paris), the nine-week residency aimed to provide participants with an opportunity to listen and learn from each other, to compare cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives, and to form professional networks and collaborations. In addition to a stipend, fellows received on-site lodging, use of working facilities, lunches, and weekly round-trip train tickets to Paris.
Over the course of 20 summers, the residency program brought together more than 400 scholars of American Art and artists from around the world.
