Each year the Rome Prize is awarded to emerging artists and scholars who represent the highest standard of excellence in the arts and humanities. Please join us in the Great Hall at Cooper Union in New York on Tuesday, April 9 as we announce the 2019 Rome Prize winners and Italian Fellows.

The program from the Arthur and Janet C. Ross Rome Prize Ceremony also features a Conversations | Conversazioni event titled “Integrity and Public Office: Classical Greek and Roman Perspectives” with Melissa Lane, professor of politics and director of the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University (2018 Resident), speaking with John Ochsendorf, AAR director (2008 Fellow). A Prosecco toast will follow the program.

This event is free and open to the public; an RSVP is required.

The Helen Frankenthaler Foundation is the 2018–19 season sponsor of Conversations/Conversazioni: From the American Academy in Rome.
