A showcase of work by artists selected for an Abbey Award residency at the British School at Rome.
The EA Abbey Memorial Scholarships (Abbey Awards) date back to 1926 when the American artist Edwin Austin Abbey RA, who had spent most of his life in the UK and contributed to the founding of the BSR in 1901, provided a generous legacy to support UK and US painters. His widow Gertrude Abbey established the Abbey Scholarships, and funded the building of seven studio-apartments at the BSR that accommodate all resident artists to this day.
An Abbey residency is a unique opportunity for fine art practitioners to get away from everyday pressures and work independently, alongside a multidisciplinary and supportive community, living in and becoming familiar with the most fascinating city of the ancient and modern world.
Four artists a year are selected for an Abbey Award. The Abbey Council, chaired by Vanessa Jackson RA, makes their selection from an annual open competition, open to US and UK artists (and long-term residents of any nationality).
The Abbey Awards are now open for artists wishing to apply for all-expenses-paid residencies at the BSR in 2022/23.
