AMERICAN
CERAMIC CIRCLE
ACC Grants
The ACC awards up to $5,000 for expenses associated with the preparation of scholarly papers based on the original research in the history of ceramics. The grants provide assistance for the costs such as grant-related travel and photography. Grant recipients are required to offer completed papers for publication in the American Ceramic Circle Journal and may be invited to speak at the annual ACC symposium. The next deadline for completed applications is April 1, 2009.
Founded in 1970, the American Ceramic Circle promotes scholarship and research in the history, use, and preservation of ceramics. Symposia are held every November at various museums. Future locations include the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, Maryland, in 2008 and Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia, in 2009. The ACC offers space-available symposium scholarships in the amount of registration fees to graduate and undergraduate students and museum interns whose studies are related to the history of ceramics. Applicants must be recommended by a faculty or museum supervisor. Send a brief letter of application with the recommendation to Anne Forschler-Tarrasch.
