Want to apply for fellowships that support the study of Netherlandish art but not sure where to begin? Wondering how to make your personal statement stand out, or how to ask for recommendation letters? This event, organized by the Center for Netherlandish Art, is here to help.

Hear from Dr. Nicole Cook, CNA senior program Manager; and Kirsten Derks, PhD, postdoctoral researcher and former CNA fellow; as they share their own experiences applying for grants and fellowships that support early modern art research. Ask questions in a relaxed, collegial space and talk about navigating these early phases of your career.

The application portal for 2026–27 CNA fellowships is now live! Learn more and apply today, and reach out to [email protected] with any questions.

The Founders of the Center for Netherlandish Art at the MFA are Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo and Susan and Matthew Weatherbie.
