Special Thanks Our thanks to the generous donors whose recent contributions and grants are making our programs possible today. Special appreciation is again extended to the Arthur Ross Foundation and the late Arthur Ross for the creation of a reserve fund, a permanent endowment for the function of directing education and precious operating support on a number of vital fronts. Support from the Morris and Alma Schapiro Fund has allowed creation of the Alma Schapiro Prize as a permanently endowed biannual affiliated fellowship at the American Academy in Rome for an American fine artist. The Fund has also been at the creative forefront of our Grand Central Academy of Art.
