The Snite Museum of Art offers faculty from any discipline at the University of Notre Dame financial support to develop new courses or to revise existing courses to place the Museum’s collection, exhibitions, and practices at the center of teaching and research. The Snite Museum’s objective in offering these funds is to further integrate the practice of teaching with works of art into the academic curriculum of the University.
Grant recipients will receive ample support from Snite Museum staff in designing museum experiences and integrating them into their course teaching. Staff will consult with grant recipients on selecting works of art and connecting with other resources that support course goals. Snite Museum staff can also advise on pedagogical approaches to teaching with the collection or in various Museum spaces. Applicants are encouraged to contact Bridget Hoyt, curator of education for academic programs, at hoyt.14@nd.edu to discuss ideas prior to applying.
Applications are due Monday, June 1 for the 2020-2021 academic year.
