Museum Confirms Charlotte Bingham '27 as the 2025-26 Luise and Morton Kaish Scholar
The Syracuse University Art Museum has announced Charlotte Bingham as the 2025-26 Luise and Morton Kaish Fellow. This prestigious fellowship offers undergraduate students the opportunity to delve into original research related to the museum's permanent collection.
Charlotte Bingham, a junior majoring in Anthropology and Digital Humanities with a minor in Museum Studies, is no stranger to the world of art and culture. As part of the Renee Crown University Honors program, Bingham has shown a keen interest in interpreting art and analyzing human culture.
The Luise and Morton Kaish Gallery, a part of the Syracuse University Art Museum, serves as the backdrop for Bingham's research. The current permanent collection exhibition, "Human/Environment: 4,000 Years of Art," provides a springboard for her studies. Other works by Luise and Morton Kaish, prominent alumni of Syracuse University, also inspire Bingham's research.
Bingham stands with Luise Kaish's artwork "Portal IX" in the Luise and Morton Kaish Gallery, expressing her excitement about the unique opportunity to explore how works in the museum's collection represent and interact with our connection to place.
The Kaish Fellowship program, established at Syracuse University in 2021 through a philanthropic gift from the alumni artists, provides funding for undergraduate students from any discipline to undertake original research rooted in the museum's permanent collection. Fellows work directly with museum staff on exhibitions, scholarly publications, and public programming.
Bingham's research background for the Human/Environment: 4,000 Years of Art exhibition is rooted in her studies as a junior majoring in Anthropology and Digital Humanities with a minor in Museum Studies. Her time studying abroad in Strasbourg and Edinburgh has also contributed to her unique perspective on art and culture.
Bingham believes that both art and anthropology are trying to reproduce or represent something about human culture. Through the Kaish Fellowship, she aims to further explore this connection and deepen her understanding of the role art plays in reflecting and shaping our relationship with the places we inhabit.
The Kaish Fellowship program supports exhibitions, scholarly publications, and public programming at the Syracuse University Art Museum. With Bingham's appointment, the program continues to foster academic growth and artistic exploration among undergraduate students.
