• The exchange of information through domestic and international programming;
• Collaborations and partnerships with museums and preservation organizations; and
• Underwriting internships, research grants, and scholarships for graduate students and young professionals.

Our members live throughout the country, have diverse interests, and enjoy a compelling list of benefits.

To support our mission, the Trust offers:

• Symposia
• Study Trips Abroad
• The Magazine of the Decorative Arts Trust with articles about current events, exhibitions, books, and new research
• Grants, scholarships, and internships for graduate students and young professionals through the Emerging Scholars Program
