The Trustees of the American Academy in Rome have awarded Fellowships to 31 new Rome Prize winners. In announcing the names, Adele Chatfield-Taylor, FAAR’84, President of the American Academy in Rome, said "The Academy is immensely proud of its Rome Prize winners and the work they have done and aspire to do. Never in our lifetime has international cultural exchange mattered more. These 31 souls will learn a great deal about the culture of another world and will impart a great deal about the United States, too. This is a necessity if we are to all work toward world peace."
On the occasion of the ceremony, there was a screening of Empire of the Eye The Magic of Illusion, the first in a series of three films by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, celebrating the visual revolution of the Renaissance.
Rome Prizes were awarded in the fields of architecture, design, historic preservation and conservation, landscape architecture, literature, musical composition, visual arts, ancient studies, medieval studies, Renaissance and early modern studies, and modern Italian studies.  Prize winners range in age from 26 to 60 and come from nine states across the nation, including California, the District of Columbia., Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Virginia.  These newly announced winners will join art historians Elizabeth Marlowe and Jill J. Deupi, both 2002 winners, who are completing the second year of their two-year Rome Prize fellowships.
The Rome Prize is awarded annually through an annual, open competition that is juried by leading artists and scholars in the different disciplines.  Over thirty-five individuals were convened into eight different juries to review applications.  Selected jurors this year included:  John Corigliano, composer and faculty member at The Juilliard School; Andrew Hughes, Distinguished University Professor, Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto; Mary Margaret Jones, President of Hargreaves Associates (a landscape architecture and planning firm); artist Philip Pearlstein; David Quint, George E. Bodman Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Yale University; and Jeanne Marie Teutonico, Associate Director of the Getty Conservation Institute.  (Please see attached for a complete list of all jurors and their professional affiliations.)
The American Academy in Rome is one of the leading centers for independent study and advanced research in the arts and humanities.  Each year the Academy invites applications for its prestigious Rome Prize Competition. The annual deadline for the Rome Prize is November 1.  For over one hundred years, the Academy has offered support, time and an inspiring environment to some of America’s most gifted scholars and artists.  For more information please visit www.aarome.org.
