INTRODUCTION
T
he Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has been attracting the finest faculty and students
for nearly two centuries. In 1985, there is still no greater opportunity in the country for the
aspiring student of Fine Arts.
Almost everyone who applies to study at the Academy does so to work with the prominent faculty.
Their quality and professionalism is evident in the monographs on the following pages.
An education at the Academy fuses the rich traditions of classical academic training with the most
contemporary ideas and techniques. This unique opportunity attracts a talented student body from
all over this country, as well as internationally, that is as committed as the faculty to maintaining an
atmosphere of intellectual and creative inspiration.
The skylit, beautifully equipped studios are housed in several historic landmarks in the heart of
Philadelphia. The buildings alone emanate the dignity and intimate ambiance that are hallmarks of
the Academy experience.
The Academy's internationally renowned collection of American art from the 18th Century to the
present day, plus the extensive schedule of rotating exhibits create a wealth of material for the
student to draw on. In addition, the Academy owns one of the last definitive collections of classical
casts, which are used as an integral part of the instructional program.
In addition to the three major schools in Painting, Sculpture and Graphics the Academy has
available a rich liberal arts program in the humanities, behavioral science and social science in
affiliation with nearby University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia College of Art, which results in a
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Accredited by NASAD, the Academy also directly grants a certificate.
Often called the "Fount of American Art", the Academy after 180 years still educates many of
America's leading artists. We welcome you to see first-hand how that's done.

HISTORY
The Pen nsylvania 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 Museu m have been in the forefront of trend s in
the fine arts in America for almost 200 years. Students in the Academy
Schools range from Thomas Sully and the Pea le family in the early years to
Thomas Eakins, Thomas Anshutz, Mary Cassatt, and Cecelia Beaux in the
middle years, 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 rea lism 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 a lso led with exhibitions of. both
traditional and controversial American art. Over the ycars. the gallenes of the
Academy Museum have held work s of the Phot o-Secession. thc ju ried
Academy Annuals, works from the Barnes Foundation. and works of
ContemporalY American Realism .
The Academy itself is locatcd in an historica l city that has long been a
center for the creative and performing arts. The Academy stude nt has access to
a wide range of cultural activities and has the opportunity to interact WIth the

students of no less than 48 other institutions of higher education, including
several 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 artist's colony of New Hope; and to the west one finds the
Barnes Foundation, one of the greatest collections of 19th and early 20th
century 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 fine artists.

Buildings: The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts occupies two
buildings in Center City Philadelphia of architectural importance. The main
building, at Broad & Cherry 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 Peale
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 Academy 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, J r., 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 primary source materIa ls
relating to the history of the institution. Archives include documents from the
Academy Schools and from past exhibitions as well as informatIOns a bout
many of the artists associated with the Academy.

THE FACULTY
T
he education of a fine artist must encourage the individual to discover lasting
values, which come through discriminating
observation and self-awareness. Further, the
aspiring artist must be assisted in understanding the whole gamut of life, for only
through that understanding can significant
creations emerge.
The Academy faculty is dedicated to the
development of individuals who will leave the
school with the ability to direct their own
growth as artists, and be equipped to spend
their lives realizing their aspirations in visual
terms.
The faculty is selected for their preeminence as
artists and teachers and for their inspired
dedication to art.

A sculpture st udent may focus on a specific area of
interest: modeling from life in clay, working in metal,
direct plaster, stone or wood carving.
Daily critiques occur on a one to one and group basis.
Students are encouraged to develop their drawing
abilities in life drawing classes and knowledge of thc
human figure in anatomy studios and lectures.
The Sculpture Department offers facilities for working
from the model, free work in stone and wood carving,
welding, ceramics, fabrication and casting of plastics,
paper mache, wax and plaster. Students are free to use
these facilities at their own discretion, aidcd by a faculty

own projects and choose their own approaches.
Working increasingly on their own, students receive
guidance through weekly critiques from the faculty and
designated critics.
STUDIO PRIVILEGE
The Academy provides private studio space for eligible
third and fourth year students. The assignment of
studio spaces is decided once each term by vote of the
entire faculty on the basis of continued growth,

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON
MEMORIAL TRAYEUNG SCHOLARSHIPS
By the liberal provisions of the wills of Emlen Cresson and Priscilla p" his
wife, a Fund has been created as a memorial to their deceased son, William
Emlen Cresson, Academician, the income from which is to be applied by the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in sending pupils of merit to Europe,
These scholarships shall be awarded under rules and regulations as shall be
adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, The award of Cresson Scholarships has had
significant influence on hundreds of recipients over many years and has been a
great boon to this Academy. In the Spring of 1969, the one thousandth award
50
was made. To 'emphasize the importance of these awards and to broaden the
advantages to our students, and because the Fund realizes very generous
income each year, the Management, through its Committee on Instruction, has
established the practice of approving the recommendation of the Faculty for
either first or second awards. These scholarships were first awarded in 1902.
In 1984 five Cresson Traveling Scholarships of $5,300 each were awarded, of
which $2,900 was used for a summer of travel and traveling expenses in
Europe, and the remaining $2,600 was used for Academy tuition for the two
terms immediately following. Each year,. the sums may vary as adjustments m
tuition charges and traveling expenses dictate.

will of Cornelia Schiedt, provide the award of Traveling Scholarships according

ADMISSIONS
ADMISSIONS
Since its beginning in 1805, the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts has been attracting and enrolling a
unique, self-selecting and international group of
students. The student body represents individuals with a
diversity of educational and work experiences ranging
from high school diplomas to graduate degrees and
professional careers.
The level of commitment and age typical of students
drawn to the Academy is reflected in part by their level
of maturity in making a decision to develop their fine
art sensibilities. The Academy curriculum is taught in a
classic studio environment where students work toward
independence, and design their own program. This
environment is not only attractive to mature students,
but it successfully encourages such an approach of
judgment in younger students.
The value of the program has been embodied in the
careers of alumni such as: Thomas Eakins, Arthur B.
Carles, the "Ash Can School" members and many
others. The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
day, evening and summer programs preserve the
Academy's rich tradition and share historic facilities in
center city Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts seeks
students who are highly motivated to work in the fine
arts and who give strong evidence of talent and
potential. The Academy does not discriminate on the
basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, age,
religion, handicap, financial situation or geographic
location in admitting students to the School or in the
administration of its education policies, admissions
policies, scholarship and loan program and any other
school-administered programs.
