The FRAME Research Program intends to expand scholarship by increasing knowledge, learning and skills through collective exchanges and deliverables to the benefit of museum professionals and the public.
Scope
This program encourages discussions and collective reflections upon:
- FRAME collections (interpretation, restoration, provenance, inventory, etc.)
- All or part of an exhibition (essays for a catalogue, educational and cultural programming, etc.)
- An aspect of welcoming visitors (scenography, devices, new technologies, etc.)
- A new look on art history (all areas, disciplines, and periods are accepted)
Of note: a combination of these aspects is recommended to increase inclusivity in the interest of museums professionals and audiences.
How does it work?
The FRAME Research Program is animated by the FRAME Program Committee. The French and North American members of the Committee share expertise, ideas, and thoughts during virtual meetings with the aim to:
- Raising or answering questions from the field.
- Developing shared projects.
- Preparing joint deliverables, so-called “FRAMEworks” which include:
- Lectures; panel discussions; workshops; articles; vade mecum; catalogues, depending on the subjects and needs determined by member museums.
- They can give rise to virtual or in-person seminars; study days; symposiums.
- They are accessible to FRAME members and to a general audience.
FRAME Support
With a goal to bring assistance to the membership, FRAME creates the appropriate context of dialogue to launch discussions and to accompany the development of projects and “FRAMEworks”.
When justified, FRAME can also provide Research Fellowships. For more information, please visit FRAME Travel Program and FRAME Grants.
