MoMA Announces The Creation Of The Ford Foundation Scholars In Residence Program
MoMA announces the creation of the Ford Foundation Scholars in Residence at The Museum of Modern Art, a program that will invite three midcareer or established professionals with demonstrated records of achievement to join the Museum for a one-year term to pursue independent research that contributes to new understandings of modern and contemporary art. Candidates for these new residencies will be thought leaders whose work focuses on historically underrepresented artists, moments, movements, and geographies, or offers new perspectives on art-historical topics. In addition to conducting independent research, each scholar-in-residence will join staff across the Museum to participate in the conversations that set the course for MoMA's collection presentations, exhibitions, acquisitions, scholarship, and programming. .
