Rome Prizes are highly competitive fellowships that support advanced independent work and research in the arts and humanities. Winning artists and scholars receive a stipend, workspace, and room and board at the Academy’s eleven-acre campus on the Janiculum Hill in Rome. Recipients in eleven disciplines including landscape architecture are selected through a rigorous independent jury process.
