The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center, a component of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe, New Mexico, sponsors research in American Modernism (1890—present) by awarding scholarships to historians in the fields of art, architecture & design, literature, music, and photography and to museum or other professionals who wish to have or extend their curatorial experience. The Research Center offers six scholarships annually.

The Research Center

Located in downtown Santa Fe, one block from the Museum and two blocks from the Plaza, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center provides office space for scholars, an on-site research library, and an archive of materials relating to O'Keeffe and her contemporaries. Scholars proposing topics that specifically address O'Keeffe and her art also have access to the extensive collection of art works in the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and to the Ghost Ranch house, another component of the Research Center. O'Keeffe lived and worked at the Ghost Ranch house part of each year from the mid-1930s through the mid-1970s. Approximately 60 miles northwest of Santa Fe, it is surrounded by the stunning landscape that inspired her art for more than 40 years.

The Research Center's program of lectures, symposia (on-site and virtual), colloquia, conferences, informal discussions, and publications complement the exhibitions, performances, and lectures sponsored by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Scholars can participate in these programs as well as in the rich cultural milieu of the city and its institutions. The Research Centerd in July 2001 with the inaugural symposium, Defining American Modernism: 1890 – present. Applications are being accepted now for its 2003 scholarship program. The deadline for applications is the Monday following Thanksgiving.
