Arts and Special Projects have collaborated to provide art history research grants to high school visual arts teachers.   High school seniors select research topics, visit with curatorial staff of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, submit research papers for the Dedalus Art History Competition in May 2010 and share their work at the 6th annual symposium to be held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in June 2010.

Each participating teacher will be reimbursed up to $500 to cover purchase of books and materials related to their students' art history research.

This is a screened program.   Teachers interested in being considered for this program, please contact Karen Rosner, Coordinator of Visual Arts, no later than November 25.
