Past Events

The annual New York Gala celebrates the extraordinary innovation, scholarship, and exchange of ideas that have taken place at the Academy since 1894. Proceeds from the evening support the Academy, which provides time and space for the world’s best thinkers, scholars, and artists to create and imagine a better future.

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.

The Academy’s signature series of events, Conversations/Conversazioni: From the American Academy in Rome, convenes leading artists, scholars, designers, historians, and museum leaders for frank, wide-ranging discussions on a variety of topics in the arts and humanities.
