The American Academy in Rome is pleased to announce its slate of twenty Residents for the 2022–23 academic year. They join the distinguished list of artists and scholars who are invited as Fellows each year to live and work within the Academy’s community in Rome.
For this program, esteemed artists and scholars of international standing reside at the Academy for periods ranging from one to three months. Invitations are extended to esteemed artists and scholars working in the disciplines represented by AAR: architecture, design, historic preservation and conservation, landscape architecture, literature, musical composition, and visual arts, as well as ancient studies, medieval studies, Renaissance and early modern studies, and modern Italian studies.
During their stay, Residents serve as advisors and mentors to Rome Prize recipients and to other members of the Academy community. Residents also participate in various events throughout the year as part of the series Conversations/Conversazioni: From the American Academy in Rome. These and other programs emphasize links between the disciplines represented by the AAR community and highlight the impact of Residents’ artistic and scholarly work.
