Henry Moore Institute Research Fellowships

The Henry Moore Institute invites applications for the following fellowship programmes: Research Fellowships are intended for artists, scholars and curators, working on historic and contemporary sculpture using the Institute\’s library, archive of sculptors\’ papers and the collection of Leeds Art Gallery. Up to 4 fellows will be given the opportunity to spend a month in Leeds to develop their own research. With access to our resources and an on-going dialogue with the Institute staff, fellows are free to pursue their own interests in a supportive and stimulating environment. Senior Fellowships are intended to give established scholars (working on any aspect of sculpture) time and space to develop a research project free from their usual work commitments. Up to 2 senior fellowships, for periods of between 4 to 6 weeks will be offered. Both fellowships provide accommodation, travel expenses and a per diem. The Institute offers the possibility of presenting finished research in published form, as a seminar, or as a small exhibition. The fellowships are an integral part of the research programme, presenting fresh perspectives on the Institute\’s collections, opening up new collaborative possibilities and furthering research into sculpture.
