Kress Foundation<\/strong>:<br \/>\nThe mission of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation (est. 1929) is to sustain and carry out the original vision of founder, Samuel H. Kress (1863-1955). The Samuel H. Kress Foundation supports the work of individuals and institutions engaged with appreciation, interpretation, preservation, study and teaching of the history of European art and architecture from antiquity to the dawn of the modern era.<br \/>\n<strong>About the AAR:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe American Academy in Rome (AAR) supports innovative artists, writers and scholars living and working together in a dynamic international community. The encounter with Rome represents now, as it has done since the Academy\u2019s inception, something unique: a chance for American artists and scholars to spend significant time interacting and working in one of the oldest, most cosmopolitan cities in the world. The richness of Rome\u2019s artistic and cultural legacy and its power to stimulate creative thinking served as the initial impetus for the Academy\u2019s founding. Today, those tendencies live on, transformed as ever by the dynamism of the Academy\u2019s constantly evolving community. The community includes Fellows, Residents, Visiting Artists and Scholars, and, come June, members of academic Summer Programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Applications for the 2016 &#8211; 2017 Fellowship are now open DEADLINE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IS JANUARY 18, 2016 The purpose of The Samuel H.
