Past Events

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.

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.

Founded in 2011, the Christine Huemer Lecture is dedicated to the memory of Christina Huemer, Drue Heinz Librarian Emerita, who served as a spirited leader of the Arthur & Janet C. Ross Library for fifteen years (1993–2007), retiring just a few years before her untimely death in 2010. Those touched by Huemer’s learning, creativity, and curiosity will remember her forever.
