About Grand Central Atelier Grand Central Atelier (GCA) is the leading center in the United States for the rigorous study of classical drawing, painting, and sculpture. For more than a decade, GCA has trained artists in the methods and ideas of the European studios from the renaissance to the 19th c., and is building a community of practitioners, scholars, and patrons committed to the continuity of the Western representational tradition. About the Bruce Cole Humanities Initiative The Bruce Cole Humanities Initiative is a two-year program honoring the late Bruce Cole, former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities and one of the most influential American art historians of his generation. The Initiative brings the study of art history and cultural history into direct conversation with the working studio through two postdoctoral instructorships, weekly studio lectures, a public lecture series, and a capstone symposium. The Position The Postdoctoral Instructor in Art History and the Classical Tradition will be a central intellectual voice within the Initiative. The Instructor will pursue independent scholarly work, serve as a co-editor of the Initiative's online journal of art history and criticism, teach within the GCA curriculum, and engage directly with ongoing research and publications on classical realism under the supervision of painter and scholar Jacob Collins.
