The American Academy in Rome is pleased to present winners of the 2016 Rome Prize Fellowship. These thirty-one artists and scholars will receive a stipend, workspace, and room and board for a period of six months to two years at the Academy’s eleven-acre campus in Rome. Fellowship winners were presented at the Arthur and Janet C. Ross Rome Prize Ceremony, which was held in Kaplan Hall Auditorium at the New School in New York.
Rome Prize winners are selected annually through a national competition process by independent juries of distinguished scholars and artists in one of the eleven disciplines supported by the Academy. Nationwide, almost 900 applications were received from forty-six states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico.
In addition to the Rome Prize winners, the Academy also announced six winners of the Italian Fellows program, through which Italian artists and scholars (also selected through a national jury process) live and work in the Academy community, pursuing their own projects in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.
