From 26 May to 1 June 2014, past and present AAR Fellows, Friends, Residents, Staff, and Trustees will gather for the annual Open Studios, Concerts, Readings, and Walks and Talks during Trustees’ Week. There will be formal and informal oral histories, group photographs, and lively discussions about where the Academy has been and where it is going in the next century. The week of events will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the Academy's residence in the McKim Mead and White building on the Janiculum, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening of the Library, and, finally, the 100th anniversary of the definitive joining—in theory and practice—of the fine arts and the humanities in one place. In short, this Rome Reunion will mark the moment when the Academy became the institution we know and love today: a place that supports artists, writers, and scholars living together and working innovatively in a dynamic, international community.

Mark your calendars! We need your voice, your perspective, and your presence at the Academy to help propel us forward into the next hundred years.
