The American Academy in Rome is a leading American overseas center
for independent studies and advanced research in the fine arts and
humanities. It is home to a private residential community at its

scholars representing eleven academic and creative fields who live

their fields, Affiliated Fellows sponsored by American and global
institutions, as well as Visiting Artists and Scholars. The
community is close-knit and allows for uninterrupted stretches of
time for creative thought and scholarship. A robust series of
programs, lectures, conferences and exhibitions enriches the
experience.
The mission of American Academy in Rome is based on equal access
and the open exchange of ideas. At the Academy, diversity,
inclusion, accessibility, and equal access are fundamental
requirements for scholars and artists to thrive and achieve their
full potential. As an institution abroad, the Academy realizes it
