The American Academy in Rome
Established in 1894 and chartered by an Act of Congress in 1905, the American Academy in Rome is a leading center for independent studies and advanced research in the arts and humanities. Situated on the Janiculum, the highest hill within the walls of Rome, the Academy today remains a private institution supported by gifts from individuals, foundations, corporations, and the memberships of colleges, universities, and arts and cultural organizations as well as by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the United States Department of Education. Each year, through a national competition, the Rome Prize is awarded to approximately thirty individuals working in Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance and Early Modern, or Modern Italian Studies, and Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design, Historic Preservation and Conservation, Literature, Musical Composition, or Visual Art. Forty-eight individuals were invited to make up nine peer juries to review the applications this year. The application deadline is November 1st. The Academy community also includes a select group of Residents (RAAR), distinguished artists and scholars invited by the Director.
