Upcoming events

For 130 years, AAR has opened its doors to American artists, architects, sculptors, art historians, writers, composers, designers, archaeologists, historians, and many other creative thinkers in the arts and the humanities who found inspiration and innovation in the Eternal City.

Fellow Shoptalks are a forum in which Rome Prize winners, Italian Fellows, and Affiliated Fellows present their work to each other and to the public. Shoptalks are occasionally streamed live on Zoom and posted to the Academy’s YouTube channel.

Zachary Fabri and Emily B. Frank (2024 Fellows) will discuss CONTINUITY MUTABILITY GENERATION, their collaborative exhibition that considers the generative interplay of art making and art conservation.

Please join us on Thursday, April 25, as we celebrate the 2024–25 Rome Prize winners and Italian Fellows at the Janet & Arthur Ross Rome Prize Ceremony, taking place at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.
