Division of Art Alum Awarded Prestigious Rome Prize for Art and Design Work
Art alum Amy Revier (B.F.A. ’09) has been awarded the highly competitive Rome Prize for 2024-25 and will soon embark on a full-term fellowship at The American Academy in Rome.
Congratulations to Meadows art alum Amy Revier (B.F.A. ’09) who has been awarded the Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon Polsky Rome Prize for 2024-25! Each year, the prestigious Rome Prize fellowship is awarded to about 30 artists and scholars who represent the highest standard of excellence in the industry.
The 31 winners of 2024-25, including Revier, were selected from a record-high 1,106 applications. The Rome Prize’s highly competitive fellowships support advanced independent work and research in the arts and humanities, allowing the recipients "the gift of time and space to think and work." Each winner receives a stipend, workspace, and room and board for up to 10 months at The American Academy in Rome’s 11-acre campus.
Starting in September, Revier will live and work at the Academy alongside the 30 other scholars, artists, musicians, and architects who were awarded this esteemed opportunity. She was awarded a full-term fellowship in Design and will spend the year weaving and making a new body of sculptural works.
“I will collaborate with Roman foundries, glass blowers and ceramics studios to make a comprehensive installation of sculpture and handwoven garments,” explains Revier of her artistic plans for her time at the Academy. “These works will be inspired by my time and research on ancient Roman artifacts and narratives.”
The winners of the 2024-25 Rome Prize were announced in a special ceremony and concert at New York City’s Carnegie Hall in April. For over a century, the American Academy in Rome has awarded the Rome Prize to support innovative and cross-disciplinary work in the arts and humanities, with past winners having also been awarded Pulitzers, Grammys, Nobels, and more.
