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.

The Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series is among the most prestigious international platforms for the presentation of new work on Roman history and culture. Thomas Spencer Jerome (1864–1914) was an American lawyer and lover of Roman history who lived on Capri from 1899 until his death. In his will he endowed a series of lectures to be jointly delivered at the American Academy in Rome and the University of Michigan. The revised lectures are typically published by the University of Michigan Press.
