​The Rowntree Research Award in Contemporary Art​ is a memorial to Joanna Rowntree (WUDPAC 1995)​.

​UD's Department of Art Conservation was pleased to present the 2022 Rowntree Research Award in Contemporary Art to Daniella Villamil (WUDPAC Class of 2024) for her work with the time-based media collections at the Museum of Modern Art.

Current students enrolled in the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation, or in UD's Preservation Studies Program, are invited to apply for the $1000 Rowntree Research Award to support attendance at conferences, or to travel to carry out research or collections-based study related to contemporary art. The annual deadline for applications is April 1.

The award complements the once-a-year Rowntree speaker on contemporary art. The award is a memorial to Joanna Rowntree (WUDPAC 1995), a promising contemporary art conservator who died of cancer in May 2006 at age 38.

Ask for the application form by writing to jhstoner@udel.edu: you will be asked for a budget along with answers to questions about the project, including a description of the proposed activity, significance of the activity to your work in contemporary art, and whether other funds will be available/solicited for the project.​
