Call for applications for a research grant at the Archives de la critique d’art
The International Association of Art Critics (AICA International) and the Archives of the Art Critic (ACA) are accepting applications for a research grant on the history of AICA and its various national sections.
This grant is open to all members of AICA International who wish to travel to Rennes to carry out research at ACA. It is intended to encourage the use and development of AICA International’s archives, which include documents relating to congresses and general assemblies held in France and abroad from 1948 to 2009 (programmes, memoranda, correspondence, participants’ papers, minutes), as well as the work of the committees and the organisation and management of the association (accounting and administrative documents, budgets, Presidents’ and Secretary Generals’ files).
The personal records of the association’s members may also be consulted.
The grant amounts to €2,500. It is intended to finance a research residency lasting 2 to 4 weeks between April and June 2026, along with accommodation in Rennes (which should cost up to €500 for a month). The successful candidate will be able to stay at the Cité Internationale Paul Ricoeur in Rennes.
