Winter Open Studios
Winter Open Studios showcases the work in progress of fall Rome Prize winners and Italian Fellows at the American Academy in Rome. Visitors will explore the McKim, Mead & White Building discovering music, poetry, architectural models and drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. It will encompass a wide range of ideas: identity and immigration; rivers and citizenship; monuments and feminism; untold stories of Black Africans in ancient Rome; musical transcendence; and the depth of ground water.
Participating fellows include architect Anthony Acciavatti, poet Jacob Shores-Argüello, musical composer Daria Scia, and visual artists Kimmah Dennis, Nona Faustine, and Sheila Pepe.
Winter Open Studios is made possible by the Adele Chatfield-Taylor Fund for the Arts. The program is also funded in part by a grant from the Fromm Music Foundation and in part by the Aaron Copland Fund for Music.
