In partnership with the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA), we are pleased to announce the next application deadline for the Alma Schapiro Prize, a three-month fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. The application deadline is December 9, 2016.
The purpose of the award is to advance the work of a mid-career or emerging artist, and to foster knowledge of the classical tradition. Past winners include Michael Grimaldi (2007), Jeffrey Mims (2009), Will St. John (2011), Katie Whipple (2013), Anthony Baus (2015).
A panel of 5 judges chosen by the ICAA and GCA will review the applications and select the next winner who will attend for three-months between September of 2017 and May of 2018.
