The American Art Program focuses on American fine and decorative art, and is committed to scholarship and the overall enhancement of American art history. The program supports exhibitions, publications and research that emphasize an aesthetic approach to American art, specifically scholarly study of painting, sculpture, prints, drawings, decorative arts, photography, and architecture.

The program is primarily national in scope and provides support for all periods and genres of American art history. The program does not support projects that are predominantly historical, social, documentary, technological, or that concern private collections. The program is limited to the visual arts, but does not include grants for film or broadcast media. Proposals are not accepted from individuals.

A leader in American art funding for thirty years, the program has surpassed the $145 million level in grantmaking. Scholarly studies and enhanced awareness of American art have been supported at some 250 museums, universities, and service organizations in forty-seven states, the District of Columbia, and internationally.

The American Art Program support projects in three grant categories: the Luce Fund in American Art, responsive grants, and dissertation awards.
