Ceremonial
Each May members and award winners gather onstage in the Academy's landmark auditorium on West 156 Street to formally induct new members, confer awards and honors, and listen to a distinguished speaker deliver the Blashfield Address.
The awards that the Academy gives vary somewhat from year to year, but currently number around 50 and total approximately $1 million. A list of this year's newly elected members and award winners can be found here.
Works by new members, gold medalists, and art and architecture awardees can be viewed in the Academy's galleries as part of the Exhibition of Works by Newly Elected Members and Recipients of Honors and Awards.
