Lauren Stimson, LARP '06, has received a 2023-2024 Rome Prize from The American Academy in Rome. These highly competitive fellowships support advanced independent work and research in the arts and humanities. Stimson, Partner at the STIMSON design collective in Princeton, Massachusetts, was awarded the Gilmore D. Clarke and Michael Rapuano/Kate Lancaster Brewster Rome Prize in recognition of work accomplished in "Seeing Rural: Embracing Art, Craft, and Slowness of the Italian Landscape."

The Rome Prize offers "the gift of 'time and space to think and work.'" 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.

“This class of Rome Prize winners once again includes some of America’s most gifted scholars and artists,” said Mark Robbins, President and CEO of The American Academy in Rome. “Their fellowship experience, living and working in a multidisciplinary community in Rome, has an enduring impact individually and on the wider intellectual and cultural sphere.”
