This year’s lineup brings together a rare and remarkable selection of automotive excellence, offering consumers and enthusiasts a unique opportunity to experience some of the most advanced and desirable vehicles ever created—all under one roof.

From the all-electric brilliance of the Rolls-Royce Spectre to the track-dominating Zenvo Aurora Agil and the revolutionary Koenigsegg Regera. Show-goers will experience the unmistakable presence of Lamborghini’s electrified supercars, the precision engineering of Porsche’s most extreme machines, and the refined power of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV.

Koenigsegg Regera

Innovation meets insanity. The Koenigsegg Regera’s revolutionary direct-drive system delivers seamless, mind-bending acceleration unlike anything else on the road. With over 1,500 horsepower from its twin-turbo V8 and electric motors, it’s beyond fast, incredibly rare, and absolutely groundbreaking. One of the most spectacular machines you will ever witness.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS w/ Manthey Kit

Performance, pushed to the absolute extreme. The 911 GT3 RS with Manthey Kit is built for the track, with enhanced aerodynamics, increased downforce, and race-optimized suspension and braking. It conquered the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just 6:52.981—faster, sharper, and more focused than ever. This is precision engineering at its peak.

Zenvo Aurora Agil V12

A hypercar without limits. The Zenvo Aurora Agil delivers a staggering 1,450 horsepower from its quad-turbo V12 hybrid powertrain. Lightweight, aggressive, and relentlessly fast, it’s engineered for pure track dominance. This is raw power, redefined—and you truly have to see it to believe it.

Lamborghini Temerario

Aggressive. Futuristic. Unmistakably Lamborghini. The jaw-dropping Temerario unleashes a combined 907 horsepower from its twin-turbo V8 and triple electric motors. With a blistering 0–60 mph time of just 2.2 seconds and a top speed of 213 mph, it’s explosive, electrified performance at its absolute peak. A machine that demands attention—and refuses to be ignored.

Rolls-Royce Spectre

The electric future of luxury has arrived. The Rolls-Royce Spectre is silent, stunning, and impossibly smooth, redefining what performance feels like. With instant torque and effortless acceleration, it glides with authority while delivering a drive that is beyond fast and utterly unforgettable. This is Rolls-Royce, reimagined.

Lotus Emira

Sleek, sculpted, and engineered for pure driving joy, the 400 bhp Lotus Emira is a modern classic in the making. Blasting from 0–62 mph in just 4 seconds with a top speed of 181 mph, it delivers razor-sharp handling and a connection to the road that’s nothing short of thrilling. This is driving, perfected—and you need to see it up close.

Porsche Cayenne Electric

The future of Porsche performance is here—and it’s electric. The Cayenne EV pairs instant acceleration with everyday versatility in one striking SUV. With up to 1,140 horsepower in Turbo variants, it delivers breathtaking speed with cutting-edge innovation. This is electrified performance without compromise.

Karma Amaris

Sleek. Modern. Electrifying. The Karma Amaris is a luxury grand touring coupe delivering 708 horsepower and a 0–60 mph time under 3.5 seconds. With over 400 miles of range and instant, seamless power, it blends performance and sophistication effortlessly. A bold glimpse into the future—and it’s absolutely spectacular.

Lamborghini Revuelto

This is Lamborghini unleashed. A screaming V12 fused with electrified power delivers over 1,000 horsepower of pure adrenaline. It’s beyond fast, wildly exhilarating, and engineered to shock the senses at every turn. One of the most incredible machines on the planet—and a must-see.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan

SUV luxury has never looked—or felt—this powerful. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is bold, commanding, and effortlessly spectacular from every angle. Its twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre V12 engine delivers whisper-quiet, seamless power, creating a ride that is both serene and unstoppable. This is presence on another level—experience it in person.

Protect Natural Resources: This pillar focuses on initiatives that address climate- and nature-related impacts, including creating products aligned to the Company’s circular principles, enabling circular experiences for consumers and investing in innovative materials. As cotton is Ralph Lauren’s chief material, Cotton Stewardship is the flagship program, accelerating the shift toward regenerative and recycled cotton.

#InauguralReview #TheOriginalVincents Since 1904 #Italian by the late great #VincentGeneroso Now by his daughter #MargaretAnnGeneroso brother #MichaelGeneroso and his nephew #MichaelGeneroso #119MottStreet #LittleItaly #Manhattan

Unbeatable Lobster Ravioli!  

The best we have had anywhere so far in 2026.

The Seafood Salad was an absolute triumph!

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and now we know The Original Vincent's!  We were delighted to work with Michael Generoso (the third), who owns it along with his cousin, Margaret Ann Generoso and his dad, Michael Generoso (the second), who are all following in the legendary footsteps of the late Vincent Generoso, Margaret Ann's dear old dad.  (DADS are obviously the very best.)

We asked Grok about Vincent Generoso and Grok said:

Vincent Generoso (often referred to as Vincent M. Generoso or simply the owner of Vincent's) is the longtime co-proprietor and co-owner of the Original Vincent's restaurant (also known as Vincent's Clam Bar or Vincent's Little Italy) at 119 Mott Street in Manhattan's Little Italy neighborhood.The restaurant, a historic Little Italy institution established in 1904 (originally as a pushcart clam bar by Giuseppe and Carmela Siano in 1894, then indoors with their son Vincent Siano, after whom it was named), specializes in Italian seafood, pasta with their famous "Secret Old World" red sauce (sweet, medium, or hot), and classic dishes. Vincent Generoso is related to the founding Siano family—his grandfather Jimmy Generoso was a cousin of the Sianos, making the Sianos his granduncle(s) in family terms. He and his brother Michael (sometimes spelled Michele) are grandsons of Jimmy and took over/co-operated the business around the 1970s–1980s (Vincent has noted he assumed the building in 1976). As of the early 2000s and into the 2020s, the restaurant remains family-run under Vincent (with mentions of Michael and Michael Jr. involved historically), and public records and permits continue to list him in connection with the property and operations. He has been a prominent figure in the Little Italy community, serving as second vice president of the Little Italy Chamber of Commerce (and involved with the Little Italy Merchants Association/LIMA). Born around 1940 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, he was quoted in local coverage celebrating the restaurant's 100th anniversary in 2004 and defending the neighborhood's culinary heritage.He is the father of Margaret Ann Generoso, one of his three daughters (with wife Margaret; two of the daughters were noted as teachers in 2004 coverage). Public property records directly link Margaret Ann Generoso to Vincent Generoso and the 119 Mott Street restaurant address (e.g., as co-parties on deeds or related filings), confirming her connection to the family business/property. She is "of the Original Vincent's Little Italy" in that sense, as part of the owning/generational family tied to the iconic spot.Vincent Generoso remains the key modern face of the restaurant in historical accounts, preserving its century-plus legacy amid Little Italy's changes. (Note: This is distinct from unrelated individuals with the same name who passed in other parts of New York.) The spot is still operating as a classic, old-school Italian eatery in the neighborhood.

Oh we love history!  For so many years people have asked Peachy what on earth would one do with a B.A. in American History from BC.  Her answer it turns out is to eat with it, sometimes!

Michael (the third) started working here in 1994 and he takes immense pride in the family vocation, and once you taste your dinner, it will be elucidated entirely to you!

There are 121 coveted seats at 119 Mott Street, just off of Mulberry in Manhattan's Little Italy and this classic institution really impressed us on our first visit.

We were thrilled to see our favorite on the wall.

We began with the Caesar Salad, and we ordered it with Grilled Chicken, which was done perfectly and cut well too.  They make their own fresh Caesar dressing and Ms. I Hardly Like Anyone's Dressing Anywhere really adored this incarnation of Caesar Salad dressing as well as the fresh salad itself.  Lesser venues have inferior croutons but even the croutons here boast a satisfying crunch and standout flavor.  Vincent's Famous Original Specialties encompass quite a lot of shrimp, and we opted for the steamed version that comes in the number of Gordie Howe (9 of course) for health reasons and also to see the intrinsic quality of the fresh seafood.  Seafood here is delivered three times a week and you will see in every bite that the freshness that is celebrated here makes a true difference.  This venue is known for their sauces: sweet, medium and hot.  Peachy started with baby steps in general with the sweet, but here, you can see she tried all three and they are all winners in their own right.  It just depends on your personal preferences.  We have lots of sauce ambitions here because indeed it is quite distinguished in quality flavor.

Note we never edit pictures. 
You excel like the Generoso family, or we do not publish.

One of the best elements of this entire review, and there were no weak dishes, was without a doubt the Seafood Salad.  Some places put seafood with other ingredients but here, its level of purity and quality is truly optimal.  A perfect array of calamari, scungilli (conch) and shrimp team up in fresh fashion to wow you with cocktail sauce, just as good of a sauce as the three versions of tomato sauce.  This could be a meal in itself with superb protein and for everyone that is following the protein trend, allow us to remind you that the classics beat trends always because here since 1904 it seems like protein has been celebrated.

Obviously, Italian places should hit the nail on the head with building blocks such as linguine with meatballs, and this arrives in style with two thoughtfully-crafted carnivorous wonders of equal parts beef, veal and pork (one-third each.)  The linguine was al dente just as we wanted and of course like many things in life, was made even better with cheese.

We are fans of vegetables generally speaking, so opted for the steamed broccoli with garlic and oil. It was perfection in every crunchy bite and outshines its competition in its robust flavor and color, probably evocative of a high level of nutrition (Peachy makes no medical claims.)

The richness of the Homemade Meat Lasagna crafted with their signature red sweet sauce is layer after layer of deliciousness in every bite.  We were wowed by its culinary prowess.  

Lasagna glamour shots:

We take Chicken Parm seriously, and when we said "enchante" to this edition, it flashed us its most fabulous saucy smile!  Arriving in style with al dente linguine, the Chicken Parm was a celebration of the amazing sauce here plus the perfectly pounded chicken and the ideally creamy mozzarella which made our day.  However, the superstar of the entire review was without a doubt the Lobster Ravioli with vodka sauce, which we virtually crown the winner of the mountain on Peachy's palate this inaugural visit.  Five of them line up at attention dressed to the nines in vodka sauce and you see when you cut into it that there is substantial quality lobster ready to greet you, appropriately hiding inside.

There are two seafood specialties: one is the Broiled Salmon filet which weighs in at eight ounces and was medium: exactly as we had ordered it.  The aforementioned broccoli joins it with laudable potatoes culminating in a terrifically solid entree performance.  We also happen to agree on both the music choices and the volume which is not too loud and ambient. 

We were impressed and we can't wait to see what The Original Vincent's does next!

OUR ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY...

Following the Historic turn of the century, ending the Illustrious Gay 90's, Giuseppe and Carmela Siano established the now World Famous Vincent's Clam Bar, in 1904, named after their son. The sidewalk clam bar was located at the corner of Mott and Hester street in Little Italy, New York City, Where it still flourishes today, serving succulent varieties of Italian Seafood. It is the original home of Vincent's Sauce.

THE SAUCE

It was also in 1904 that Carmala Siano introduced her secret old world recipe for the internationally celebrated Vincent's Sauce. Many have tried to imitate her secret ingredients and processing unsuccessfully!

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED

Original Vincent's is proud to have preserved the secret of the ancient recipe and to be able to serve you for your enjoyment!

Thousands Gather Around a Public Piano in Barcelona as 1000Pianos Celebrates Two Years

The Plaça Catalunya event marks a two-year milestone for 1000Pianos, promoting music, community, and neurodiversity with a focus on ADHD.

On March 21 at Plaça Catalunya in Barcelona, thousands of people took part throughout the evening to celebrate the two-year anniversary of a public piano installed in the heart of the city, marking the beginning of spring with a spontaneous, open community event centered around music, creativity, and human connection, including live music performances.

Throughout the evening, the square transformed into a vibrant, living space where passersby stopped to play, sing, and connect around the piano. The event highlighted the growing role of public music installations in creating accessible cultural experiences in urban environments.

The piano is part of the global 1000Pianos initiative, founded by David (Shlomi) Grandes, with a mission to make music freely accessible in public spaces. The project places specially designed outdoor pianos in cities around the world, allowing anyone to stop and play without barriers, with multiple installations already active in different countries.

Beyond music, the initiative carries a deeper purpose. Grandes, who was diagnosed with ADHD after years of personal struggle, has made neurodiversity awareness a central part of the project’s vision. “For many people, especially those with ADHD, moments like these are not a luxury, they are essential,” said Grandes. “Creating open spaces where people can express themselves freely, without pressure or judgment, is at the heart of what we’re building.”

Over the past two years, the 1000Pianos installation in Barcelona has become a central meeting point, fostering spontaneous performances and human connection, supported by ongoing local collaborations with Jordi Vivancos and Maria Canal to promote public music culture in the city.

1000Pianos is supported by NVOX, which focuses on advancing awareness and access around neurodiversity, with a particular emphasis on ADHD and inclusive experiences. As part of its continued growth, 1000Pianos is preparing to expand its presence to additional cities, including planned installations in the United States.

The event reflects a broader global movement toward accessible public art and inclusive community spaces. As awareness around ADHD and neurodiversity continues to grow, initiatives like 1000Pianos highlight the importance of creating environments where creativity, expression, and human connection are open to everyone.

#ItalyPeachy #ChezPeachy @ceramicsofitaly Ceramics of Italy Brings New Applications, Collections, and Dynamic Programming to Coverings 2026

Over 50 Premier Italian Brands to Showcase Their Latest Products and Inventive Designs

in Las Vegas from March 30-April 2, 2026.

Coverings returns today with its 36th edition.

Ceramics of Italy is thrilled to return to the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, for Coverings 2026 - North America's largest international tile and stone exhibition - taking place from March 30 – April 2, 2026. Celebrating its 36th edition, Coverings brings together the global tile and stone community for four days of discovery, dialogue, and design inspiration, while continuing to serve as a critical moment for architects, designers, developers, and specifiers seeking advanced surface solutions. Organized by Confindustria Ceramica (the Association of Italian Ceramics), the Italian Pavilion in the North Hall will feature over 50 premier Italian ceramic brands, offering a comprehensive look into how Italian ceramic and porcelain tile continues to push boundaries across aesthetics, performance, applications and responsible production. At its center, the Ceramics of Italy booth (#1345) - designed by global architecture firm HDR - will once again showcase stunning Italian tile collections and act as a social hospitality hub for networking and gathering.

Featuring an open landscape that encourages conversation and connection, the destination serves as a meeting point to pause, meet, network and recharge while enjoying Italian espresso and pastries. Participating brands, including Appiani, Ceramica Vogue, Cotto d’Este, La Fabbrica, Lea Ceramiche, Mirage, Naxos, and Fila Surface Care Solutions, demonstrate the expansive possibilities of Italian ceramics across residential, commercial, and public spaces. The Ceramics of Italy booth will also serve as an information hub for announcements about exciting new campaigns and initiatives, featuring Ceramics of Italy’s new branded campaign, The Fine Art of Living, along with powerful platforms such as Destination: Cersaie, Ceramics of Italy’s signature delegation program. The program invites North American professionals to apply to experience CERSAIE, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, taking place September 21–25, 2026, in Bologna, Italy.

Across the Italian Pavilion, exhibitors will reveal how ceramic and porcelain surfaces continue to evolve in response to changing design needs, offering a wide range of cutting-edge, versatile application solutions. From sophisticated drainage systems and removable shower trays, to new induction cooktops seamlessly embedded into porcelain countertops, prefabricated washbasins, vanities, dining tables, and furnishings, new product collections will illustrate tile’s evolution from a surface material to a fully integrated design solution. Additionally, emerging surface technologies that enhance performance, including anti-slip and anti-microbial features, along with ultra-realistic finishes, will continue to be at the forefront, while striking decorative and graphic effects that showcase tile as a form of art – along with the latest color trends featuring cool, desaturated tones and monochrome schemes – will make a bold impact.

Beyond the exhibit floor, Coverings 2026 will offer opportunities for professional exchange and learning. Danielle McWilliams, Executive Vice President of Novità Communications, will participate in the Global Tile Trends session on Monday, March 30 at 11:00AM in Room N250, examining international design movements through the lens of sustainability, wellness, luxury, and outdoor living. Afterwards, Mauro Rullo, Sustainability and Climate Policy Officer at Confindustria Ceramica, will participate in the dynamic panel “Leveraging Durability, Longevity and Adaptive Reuse to Position Tile & Stone at the Heart of Circular Design,” at 12:30PM in Room N250.

Ceramics of Italy will also host its annual International Press Conference, led by Confindustria Ceramica and representatives from the Italian Trade Agency. During the event, the launch of the inaugural 2026 Ceramics of Italy International Tile Competition will be announced, spearheaded by jury chairman Steve Clem, Principal at Atlanta-based architecture and design firm TVS. The impactful new format will aim to celebrate innovative uses of Italian ceramic and porcelain tile all over the world, recognizing exemplary projects that demonstrate innovative uses of Italian ceramic and porcelain tile across multiple building typologies.

Adding to the week’s celebrations, the 2026 Confindustria Ceramica North American Distributor Award will honor a distributor whose commitment and expertise have significantly advanced the presence of Italian ceramics in the North American market. The recipient will be recognized during a special aperitivo event.

With a strong roster of exhibitors, forward-looking applications, and a full schedule of programming, Ceramics of Italy’s presence at Coverings 2026 will set the stage for the year ahead in ceramic design.

#NewYorkNotes #CulturedPeachy @GRAMMYMuseum GRAMMY MUSEUM® PRESENTS SUBLIME: STRAIGHT FROM LONG BEACH

EXHIBIT CELEBRATES THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BAND’S GROUNDBREAKING SELF-TITLED ALBUMMARCH 27 – SEPT. 7, 2026

The Grammy Museum® presents Sublime: Straight From Long Beach, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band’s groundbreaking self-titled album. Opening March 27, 2026, the exhibit offers fans an intimate look at Sublime’s legacy, complemented by a special public program on July 30, 2026.

Founded in 1988 by Bradley Nowell (vocals, guitar), Bud Gaugh (drums) and Eric Wilson (bass), Sublime is a reggae-punk/alternative rock trio from Long Beach, California. Their first self-produced album, 40oz. To Freedom (1992) and experimental follow-up, Robbin’ the Hood (1994), set the stage for the breakout success of their self-titled third album. However, on May 25, 1996, Nowell tragically passed away, and the eponymous album was released on July 30, 1996. Sublime was a massive hit, selling more than 9 million copies without any live shows, topping the alternative radio charts and becoming a genre-defining influential classic.

"It’s incredible that we have sold so many albums and have not toured or wrote new music in 30 years — a true testament to our fans for keeping this dream alive,” Bud Gaugh said. “Seeing the Grammy Museum celebrate this chapter of our story with an exhibit is really meaningful to us. Thank you to the fans for all of the support, you are all crazy and we are crazy in love with you!”

Kelsey Goelz, Grammy Museum Curator, added, “Sublime’s music captured a unique moment in time, blending punk, reggae, ska, and alternative rock into a sound that was unmistakably their own. This exhibit highlights the band’s cultural impact and the vibrant Long Beach scene that nurtured the band. We’re excited to give fans an intimate look at the legacy of Sublime and the enduring influence of their music.”

Nearly 30 years after Nowell’s passing, his son Jakob Nowell has joined original members Gaugh and Wilson onstage with an undeniable musical synergy that prompted overwhelming support from fans and kickstarted a new chapter of the Sublime legacy. 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for Sublime as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking 1996 self-titled album with two special nights at Morrison, Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (April 17-18), marking the kickoff of a year-long celebration honoring the classic 1996 album. Sublime will also launch their very own touring music festival, Sublime Me Gusta, debuting May 9 at the scenic Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, Texas. The band’s highly anticipated new album is also set to be released in 2026.

ABOUT SUBLIME

Sublime, the Long Beach, CA reggae-punk/alternative rock trio, was founded in 1988 by Eric Wilson, Bud Gaugh and Bradley Nowell. They released their first self-produced album, 40oz. to Freedom, in 1992 via Skunk Records. Heavy radio exposure on Southern California’s KROQ (two years after its initial release) landed the band a deal with Gasoline Alley Records, an imprint of MCA. 1994’s Robbin’ the Hood revealed an experimental ethic more in keeping with the cut-and-paste dub than the well-tuned rage of the Cali punk revival. The album performed well at college radio and set the stage for the breakout success of their self-titled third album.

On May 25, 1996, however, Bradley Nowell tragically passed away and the band collapsed, but Universal went ahead with the release of their eponymous album in July of 1996. Their self-titled album went 5x Platinum, fueled by enduring hits like “What I Got,” “Santeria,” and “Wrong Way,” and helped propel the band to more than 18 million RIAA-certified album sales.

A new era began in late 2023 when Bradley’s son, Jakob Nowell, joined original members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson onstage, leading to a full reunion and acclaimed performances at Coachella 2024. 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for Sublime as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking 1996 self-titled album with two special nights at Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (April 17-18), marking the kickoff of a year-long celebration honoring the classic 1996 album.

Sublime will also launch their very own touring music festival, Sublime Me Gusta, debuting May 9 at the scenic Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, TX. This new event marks the beginning of a national festival series built around the timeless sound, spirit, and cultural impact of Sublime.

The band’s highly anticipated new album is set to be released in 2026. Sublime recently made history with the breakout single “Ensenada,” which spent 8 consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard’s “Alternative Airplay” chart, setting the record for the longest run at #1 on alternative radio in 2025. The forthcoming album marks an exciting new chapter for Sublime while honoring the legacy that has inspired fans for more than three decades. For more, please visit www.sublimelbc.com.

The National Hockey League (NHL) and its U.S. and Canadian broadcast partners are bringing fans closer to the intensity of playoff hockey with a first-of-its-kind approach for the league through a new collaborative marketing campaign ahead of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The NHL, ESPN, TNT Sports and Sportsnet are collectively creating a cohesive look and feel for fans through a high-energy campaign showcasing why the Stanley Cup Playoffs are must-watch.

The campaign, “You Just Have to Watch,” features a series of creative spots for the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with each network having its own version of the creative. The first spot, which debuted today, is “Fired Up.”

The creative concept is meant to show how intense, exciting and adrenaline-filled postseason hockey is. NHL fans know what playoff hockey is all about, but as new patrons walk into packed hockey bars in the creative, they too learn that the Stanley Cup Playoffs deliver unmatched entertainment.

Two other spots, “Overtime” and “Do Anything,” debut ahead of the Second Round and Conference Finals, respectively. Each network owns post-production of one spot, with ESPN editing “Fired Up,” Sportsnet editing “Overtime” and TNT Sports editing “Do Anything.” All creative was developed by creative agency Arts & Letters Creative Co.

Three individuals and two writing teams have been selected as the recipients of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 2025-2026 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting, an international talent development program that supports non-professional screenwriters.

This year, to identify potential fellows, the Nicholl program exclusively partnered with 40 global universities, screenwriting labs, film festivals and filmmaker programs, including The Black List, which served as a portal for public submissions. More than 500 Academy members from all 19 branches opted in to read and evaluate the scripts to determine the 10 finalists – an increase in Academy member participation by 149%. A group of 23 Academy members who serve on the Nicholl Committee selected the fellowship recipients from the finalists. The Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting Program is governed by the Academy Foundation Board of Trustees. The 2025-2026 Nicholl Committee was co-chaired by Academy Foundation Board President and Academy Governor Kim Taylor-Coleman and Producers Branch member Julie Lynn.

“We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2025-2026 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting, a remarkable group of diverse and international new writers who represent the future of storytelling,” said Taylor-Coleman. “This continues the Academy’s longtime commitment to championing emerging talent from across the world. We extend our sincere thanks to all participating Academy members, to Franklin Leonard and The Black List for their collaboration, and to the universities, screenwriting labs, film festivals and filmmaker programs who submitted scripts to this year’s program.”

Nicholl fellows receive direct support, ongoing resources, and networking opportunities from the Academy. Nicholl fellows participate in events with Oscar® nominees and winners, including pitch workshops, media training sessions, meet-and-greets and more. Fellows also receive ongoing career advancement support through the Gold Alumni Network Program, which provides continued access, opportunity, professional development and education for alumni of the Academy’s global talent development programs. All Nicholl fellowship recipient scripts are archived in the Academy Collection and are accessible through the Academy’s Margaret Herrick Library.
