You're invited to go behind the scenes and explore the creative process of the next generation of emerging artists!
One of the most anticipated events on PAFA’s calendar, Open Studio Night is the one time each year when PAFA students open their studios to the public to show and discuss their works in progress.
The event takes place on upper floors of the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building at 128 N. Broad Street—comprising of individual studios where PAFA students develop and refine their paintings, sculpture, prints, animations, and drawings. Open Studio Night gives visitors a rare look into the creative process of a new generation of emerging artists, and a sense of how they develop their ideas.
A special addition to this year's event is tied to the exhibition Threaded Currents, a collaboration between PAFA and the Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM), on view in PAFA's School of Fine Arts Gallery and Tuttleman Sculpture Gallery from January 22nd - April 12th. Exhibiting artists will be doing printmaking demonstrations in PAFA's Print Shop on the 6th floor - you don't want to miss this hands on experience and opportunity to engage with these PAFA artists and former FWM apprentices!
