INTRODUCTION
ounded in 1805, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the oldest art
school and museum in America. It is unique
in its tradition of regenerative process
wherein each generation of artists teaching
and exhibiting at the Academy shares its
experience and expertise with the next
succeeding generation, creating an unbroken
line of excellence that stretches from Charles
Willson Peale, to the present.

HISTORY
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is unique among American
art institutions. It is the oldest art school in America and from its founding in
1805 has been a museum and school dedicated to teaching, collecting, and
exhibiting American artists and art.
Both the School and the Museum have been in the forefront of trends in
the fine arL~ in America for almost 200 years. Students in the Academy
Schools range from Thomas Sully and the Peale family in the early years to
Thomas Eakins, Thomas Anshutz, Mary Cassatt, and Cecelia Beaux in the
middle yea rs, to "The Eight" more recently to the students of the 1960's and
1970's who both broke the traditional molds and also continued the Academy
tradition of realism through to the realist -renaissance- being experienced now.
While the School has taught and produced some of the most prominent names
in American Fine Arts, the Museum has also led with exhibitions of both
traditional and controversial American art. Over the years. the galleries of the
Academy Museum have held works of the Photo-Secession, the juried
Academy Annuals, works from the Barnes Foundation. and works of
Contemporary American Realism.
The Academy itself is located in an historical city that has long been a
center for the creative and performing arts. The Academy student has access to
a wide range of cultural activities and has the opportunity to interact with the

students of no les~ that 48 other institution, of higher education, including
severa l other art schools and colleges. Not only is the city of Philadelphia itself
laden with historical, architectural, and cultural opportunities but so are the
outlying suburban and rural areas. To the south of Philadelphia is Chadds
Ford, home of the Wyeths, Howard Pyle and the "Brandywine School." To
the north is the arti t's colony of New Hope; and to the west one finds the
Barnes Foundation. one of the greatest collections of 19th and early 20th
cemury French paintings.
The Academy then is an institution of tradition in a city of tradition. As it
moves toward the end of its second century, the School continues its dedication
to the training of line artists.

Buildings: The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts occupies two
buildings in Center City Philadelphia of architectural importance. The main
building, at Broad & Chcrry Streets, is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic
architecture opened in 1876 and fully restored in 1976. This National Historic
Landmark was designed by Frank Furness and George Hewitt, and houses
both the Museum and the School. Bold. colorful. flooded with natural light
and flamboyantly decorated in the latest high Victorian manner. it is efficiently
and functionally planned.
The majority of classes for the first year students are held in the Pcale
House. at 1820 Chestnut Street. another distinguished building. designed by the
architect Windrim. The building houses over 75 studios for faculty and students
as well as galleries and offices.

CoUection: "What I admire most about the Pennsylvania Academy is its
integrity. If the chief job of the Museum is to preserve, as I believe it is, then
the Academy has done its job well. The great Furness building remains intact
while most of our other nineteenth century museums have been 'improved'
beyond recognition. The collection itself is a fine one, greater by far as a
preserved whole than as a gathering of undeniable master works. In an age
when museums seek to dazzle, the Acadcmy is one of a handful of institutions
which seeks to preserve its heritage, keeping faith with the past while planning
for the future." Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., Curator of American Painting,
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Ubrary: The Academy Library provides students with a thorough survey
of the history of art, as well as materials to stimulate individual inspiration.
The collection includes a clipping file, a biographical file of artists, books,
magazines, exhibition catalogs and color reproductions. .
.
Archives: The Archive of the Academy preserves pnmary source matenals
relating to the history of the institution. Archives include documents from the
Academy Schools and from past exhibitions as well as mformatlons about
many of the artists associated with the Academy.
