The American Academy in Rome just announced the winners of its 116th annual Rome Prize Competition, and among them are a number of artists, including Polly Apfelbaum, Carl D’Alvia, Glendalys Medina and Nari Ward. The winners, as well as their compatriots in fields like architecture, ancient studies and historic preservation, will receive room and board for six month to two years in Rome, along with a studio or study and a stipend.
