ARTES and the Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica (CEEH) are delighted to invite applications for the 2025 Juan Facundo Riaño Essay Prize and ARTES-CEEH Scholarships. These awards are designed to support students and early-career researchers exploring Spanish visual culture and art history.
The deadline for these applications are midnight on 30 April 2025. Winners will be announced on 31 May 2025 and an award ceremony for the winners of the Juan Facundo Riaño Essay Prize and the ARTES Travel Scholarship for Artists will be held on 27 June 2025 at the Spanish Embassy in London. The winners of these last two awards must be able to attend the ceremony on that date in order to be eligible to claim the prizes.
The Juan Facundo Riaño Essay Prize is awarded to students and early career scholars for the best art-historical essay on a Hispanic theme, kindly supported by the Office for Cultural & Scientific Affairs of the Spanish Embassy in London. Full details are available here.
Generous support from the Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica (CEEH) also allows ARTES to award the following scholarships to students working on any aspect of Spanish visual culture before 1900:
Final year undergraduates and postgraduate students registered for a full- or part-time degree course at a UK university may apply for up to £1,000 towards the costs of travel to Spain for research purposes (which may include field work, attendance at a conference, or other recognised forms of research).
£3,000 scholarship for PhD students at a UK university
ARTES offers one scholarship each year to a student registered for a full- or part-time doctoral degree at a UK university. The scholarship is intended to contribute towards the costs of tuition, living and/or research, and therefore students with full funding are not eligible.
£3,000 scholarship for PhD students or post-doctoral scholars who wish to conduct research in the UK
Doctoral students or those who received their doctorate fewer than four years before the application deadline may apply for this scholarship provided that they were or are registered for doctoral study at a university in Spain.
ARTES is also proud to offer a new prize to support artists to travel to Spain, Portugal or Hispano/Lusophone regions. Applicants must engage creatively with the rich and distinctive visual cultures of Iberia and Latin America and be based in the UK and may be at any stage of their career.
