Abbey Awards

Abbey Awards offers residencies for painters at the British School at Rome. Artists are selected from an annual submission, open to UK and US citizens and residents. An Abbey Award allows artists the opportunity to focus on their practice, free from everyday pressures and distractions, with accommodation, meals and stipends all provided. Abbey Fellows and Scholars live and work within the BSR’s vibrant international research community, in the most fascinating city of the ancient and modern world. The residencies offer a studio atelier, live/work. The organisation consists of a cohort of independent researchers and practitioners in the fields of Fine Art, Archaeology, Architecture, the Humanities and Social Sciences. Abbey Fellowships are 3 month residencies with a stipend of £1500 per month. The Abbey Scholarship is a residency of 9 months and Scholars receive a stipend of £1000 per month. Three Fellows and one Scholar are selected annually.
