Representatives and recent fellowship winners from the American Academy in Rome, the Design Trust for Public Space, and the MacDowell Colony, will discuss opportunities for fellowships and residencies for architects and designers. Information will also be available about the Architectural League’s Deborah J. Norden Fund and Architectural League Prize for Young Architects and Designers.

Shawn Miller, program director of the American Academy in Rome will discuss the Rome prize, residential fellowships for emerging artists and scholars in Rome. Recent fellow, John Hartmann, principal of FREECELL, will discuss his recent work, including his sketchbooks from his time in Rome.

Deborah Marton, executive director of The Design Trust for Public Space, will discuss its fellowship awards to professionals whose work complements the Design Trust’s current program needs. Past fellows, Colin Cathcart of Kiss + Cathcart Architects (fellowship: “Long Island City: Connecting the Arts”) and Steven Caputo (fellowships: “High Performance Infrastructure Guidelines” and “Park Design for the 21st Century”), will discuss their fellowship projects and experiences at the Design Trust.

Cheryl Young, executive director of the MacDowell Colony will present the Colony’s residency opportunities. The residencies provide artists with time and space in which to create lasting works of the imagination at the Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Current fellow Jason Van Nest of H3 will present his ongoing research on the changing ideas of beauty in western history and the related parametric design program he worked on at MacDowell.

Admission is free and open to all. RSVP at rsvp@archleague.org.
