ANNUAL REPORT

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Thanks to all of our donors, volunteers, staff, faculty,
students, alumni, and partners who helped to make 2016-17
an extraordinary year. Your dedication to our mission ensured
that we continue to educate the most promising artists of our
generation, organize exceptional exhibitions that broaden the
story of American art, add important works to our collections,
and make our programs accessible to the community, and
improve our world-class facilities.
Among the exhibitions we organized and presented, World
War I and American Art was the most ambitious. It brought
together more than 150 works of art to commemorate the
centenary of a global conflict. Through artists’ eyes, we witnessed the war as it unfolded. Artists also helped to encourage
American participation in the war and protest against it. The
exhibition reflected the perspectives of women and African
Americans who contributed to fighting the war and maintaining the homefront. The exhibition toured to the New-York
Historical Society and the Frist Center in Nashville and collectively was seen by more than 150,000 visitors. The lavishly
illustrated catalogue that we published collaboratively with
Princeton University Press will remain a valuable resource to
students, scholars, and collectors.

PAFA’s newly completed Broad Street Studio expanded opportunities for our talented students to interact with the public. Whereas most museums highlight the finished products of
artists’ studios, this new venue at the front of the Samuel M.V.
Hamilton Building showcases the artistic process. It is messy
and exciting, and the Broad Street Studio enables passersby
on Broad Street and visitors to PAFA to ask questions as the
creativity unfolds.
PAFA has long been dedicated to public outreach and education. In this fiscal year, our commitment to partnering with
the School District of Philadelphia expanded into a fourth
school, bringing the total of elementary and middle school
students served deeply each year to 2,300. In total, our educational programs reach 65,000 children and adults. We are very
proud of these meaningful and widely accessible educational
opportunities for artistic expression, skills development, and
understanding of the visual arts.

PAFA Welcomes new Muesum Director

MUSEUM

Brooke Davis Anderson, Edna S. Tuttleman Director of the Museum

With more than 25 years
of arts and cultural experience, most recently as
Executive Director of
Prospect New Orleans, the
international triennial of
contemporary art, Brooke
Davis Anderson joined
PAFA as the new Edna S.
Tuttleman Director of the
Museum.
In her role, Anderson
provides creative and
administrative leadership
in the conception, development, and implementation
of the museum’s artistic and
public programs, including
exhibitions, scholarship,
community education, and
collecting American art. She
represents PAFA’s interests
to the public, embraces
leadership roles in the arts
and cultural community in
Philadelphia and beyond,
and works closely with the
development team to secure
resources to advance PAFA’s
mission.
“PAFA is deeply woven
into the fabric of this country and its art, so I am thrilled to join the museum and am eager
to work with David Brigham, the board and staff, the curators
and faculty, and the many communities of Philadelphia,”
Anderson said. “PAFA is uniquely positioned to explore the
ways in which artists illuminate the American experience and
the inventive approaches they employ to tell our shared stories,
past, present, and future. It is such a singular opportunity and I
can’t wait to get started!”
As the head of Prospect New Orleans, Anderson worked in
partnership with the Board of Directors and with guest

4

curators to build that triennial exhibition into a highly
acclaimed international art
event that connected to its
local community. Anderson
led all aspects of the organization, spearheaded a
range of new initiatives, and
oversaw efforts including
fundraising, programs and
audience outreach, community relationships, artist
partnerships, and collaborative efforts.
From 2010 to 2012 she
was Deputy Director of
Curatorial Planning at
the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art. At LACMA,
she oversaw the Watts
Towers Conservation and
Community Collaboration
projects, as well as the
Curatorial Diversity
Initiative to expand the
diversity of museum professionals working in curatorial
roles. From 1999 to 2010, she
was Founding Director and
Curator of The Contemporary Center at the American
Folk Art Museum in New
York, where she curated more than 20 exhibitions, authored
several books, and led the acquisition of the Henry Darger
Study Center.
Before that, Anderson was Director of the Diggs Gallery,
and Assistant Professor of Fine Arts, at Winston Salem State
University in North Carolina; Adjunct Instructor at Columbia
University and at City College of New York; Guest Curator at
the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid; and Acting Director, Assistant Director, and Gallery Assistant at the Francesca Anderson
Gallery in Boston.

Center for the Study of the American Artist offers new collaborative
learning spaces

In fiscal year 2017, 214 new works entered PAFA’s collection
including 173 gifts and 41 purchases
Historic Highlights

The Center for the Study of the American Artist serves as
an extension of the school learning experience beyond the
traditional classroom. The Center is home to 12,000 works of
art on paper in PAFA’s permanent collection, 750 linear feet of
archival materials, and 227 rare books and special collections.
During FY 2017, students, faculty, artists, curators, genealogists, and researchers used the space as a new resource for
fostering creative engagement and discourse. 283 students
and faculty scheduled appointments to study artwork in either
the Ball Family Foundation Works of Art on Paper Collections
Storage Vault or the Richard and Bonnie Rosello and Mr. and
Mrs. Washburn S. Oberwager Study Room.
The Dorothy & Kenneth Woodcock Archives provided
archival research services for 249 remote patrons and hosted
62 researchers on-site. Archival research services resulted in
the publication of books (17), biographies (6), auction catalogs
(3), catalogue raisonnés (5), scholarly publications (5),
dissertations (3), and exhibition catalogs (2).

With the generous support of the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS), 2017 also marked the year that the
Dorothy & Kenneth Woodcock Archives launched its
digitization program. The first fully digitized and freely accessible archival collection was the Annual Exhibition photographs (3,684 items). The Director of Archives will assume
stewardship of digitized collections across the archives and
help grow digital collections in an effort to better serve PAFA’s
community.
The Richard C. von Hess Foundation Works on Paper Conservation Suite is dedicated to the preservation and preventive conservation for the museum’s works of art on paper and
photographic collection. Throughout the year, over 200 works
of art and photographs were matted and framed for exhibitions
and loans and nearly 500 works of art, including 3-dimensional objects, were re-housed for storage. Additionally, the space
served as a conservation lab where minor treatments were
performed. The Conservation Technician also provided PAFA
students with consultations regarding preservation, matting,
and framing.

PAFA was honored this year to purchase two masterworks
by leading 19th and early 20th century women artists for the
collection. The first, Study: Female Head (1878) by Emily
Sartain, is by a PAFA-educated artist from an important 19th
century Philadelphia art making family, one of the first female
mezzotint engravers in the U.S., and the only woman to win a
gold medal at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition. Sartain, along
with her friend Mary Cassatt, was a student in PAFA’s groundbreaking first “ladies’ life class” of 1868. Emily Sartain was
a prominent educator, a pioneering feminist, an artist who
influenced generations of women artists in Philadelphia, and
a nationally recognized authority on art education for women.
This painting is a mature example by an artist who was connected to PAFA throughout her life as a student, exhibitor,
committee member, and prize winner.
Sick a-Bed (by 1916) was painted by Boston School artist
Elizabeth Vaughn Okie Paxton (1879–1971), who frequently
exhibited her work at PAFA between 1910 and 1941, and who
showed this painting, depicting a Vermeer-like bedroom
interior, at PAFA’s annual exhibition of 1916. This painting is
connected to PAFA’s history of exhibiting and collecting the
work of women artists. It is the finest work in a public collection by an artist who is widely thought to be as gifted a painter
as her husband, William McGregor Paxton, though, like many
women artists, she did not achieve the financial success and
recognition of her more
well-known partner.

Acquisitions

Loans Spotlight

Contemporary Highlights

Collected/Selected Loans from PAFA:

In addition to many other acquisitions PAFA was honored
this year to purchase two works by leading contemporary
artists:
Rina Banerjee’s Excessive flower, hour by hour, banal and
decorative, banished and vanished of power, reckless and
greased she steals like jewel thieves, fierce, always in theater as
actor, often captured in oils, thrown in air, robbed in vitality as
death appears for all who have more color -- see her unequal in
sting to sun and processions of pomp if in marriage and funeral
bearing in mind possessions of inheritance acquired, 2017 was
a commissioned work for the 56th Venice Biennale and enters
PAFA’s permanent collection. The work exemplifies Banerjee’s
sculptural installation practice with unorthodox materials
such as cowry shells, armature, copper tubes, and frozen
charlotte doll heads as a commentary on the excessive
circulation of materials and bodies in an increasingly
globalized world. Banerjee’s work has been exhibited throughout Europe and Asia and will be featured in the first North
American retrospective at PAFA in fall 2018.
William Villalongo’s mixed media work The Thirsty Laborer,
2012, features a combination of contemporary pop culture
and traditional African iconography in a wild and unsettling narrative. The imaginary world that Villalongo creates
references racial and sexual politics in an effort to recuperate Western, American, and African histories of art. He thus
reframes “blackness” within images, events, and themes in the
current cultural landscape. The Thirsty Laborer particularly
addresses the lineage of abstraction and its erasure of black
voices. Villalongo’s work presents a challenge to a mainstream
American art cannon.
PAFA was also pleased to receive a substantial gift by a
prominent scholar, curator, and women’s rights activist based
in Philadelphia:
Ofelia Garcia’s monumental gift of 20 works of art by women
artists complements PAFA’s holdings gifted by Linda Lee Alter
in 2012. The artists include Chitra Ganesh, Faith Ringgold,
and Louise Nevelson, whose practices had immense impacts
within the women’s movement and abstraction. These works
have also expanded PAFA’s expansive collection of works on
paper as they include lithographs, etchings, woodcuts, and
color screenprints.

Exhibitions

Happiness, Liberty, Life?
American Art and Politics

June 30 - September 18, 2016

Education Makes a Modern Girl
April 27 - October 9, 2016

This Collections Focus of works from the Linda Lee Alter
Collection of Art by Women was curated by PAFA’s Youth
Council. The teens on the Youth Council, students from various area high schools, worked as a group to consider over 100
works for inclusion in Education Makes Me a Modern Girl.
Their choices featured a range of media, subject matter and
styles reflecting their interests in the collection: its diversity of
perspectives. The choice of title referenced a song and book by
Carrie Brownstein, currently a favorite author and musician of
their generation, underscoring their belief in the importance
of seeking and exploring difference.

Happiness, Liberty, Life? American Art and Politics explored
themes of humor, protest, and portraiture in American art
and politics from the 18th century to today. A constellation of
works on display in the galleries addressed American artists’
often explosive engagement with the political process, including Julius Bloch, Colin Campbell Cooper, Sue Coe, Chitra
Ganesh, Barbara Kruger, Jacob Lawrence, Roy Lichtenstein,
Alice Neel, Rembrandt Peale, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Faith
Ringgold, William Sartain, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Gilbert
Stuart, Kara Walker, and Andrew Wyeth, among others.
A central nucleus of the exhibition, the “Wall of Washington,” offered a rare look at over 25 representations of George
and Martha Washington, from idealized views of Washington’s
childhood days to the Founding Father’s sepulcher at Mount
Vernon. Newly restored, massive cardboard characters of

George and Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin from Red Grooms’ 1982 Philadelphia Cornucopia installation were featured in PAFA’s Fisher Brooks Gallery.
In addition, an installation in the Historic Landmark
Building placed contemporary artist Brian Tolle’s sculptural
portraits of George Washington in conversation with PAFA’s
Grand Manner portraits of Washington and King George III.
In honor of the Democratic National Convention, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery lent to PAFA Elaine de Kooning’s iconic portrait of John F. Kennedy Jr., also on view in the
Historic Landmark Building.

Giants in the Corner and Other Anxious Tales:
New Works by Beauharnois, Hobbs and Martolock

Fernando Orellana: His Study of Life

Nadine Beauharnois, Morgan Hobbs and Tony Martolock
graduated from PAFA’s Master of Fine Arts program in 2015.
As recipients of the 2016 Faculty Exhibition Award, they
were invited to return to PAFA one year after graduation for
a museum exhibition of their recent work. In this exhibition,

Fernando Orellana continued his investigation of the
paranormal for his site-specific installation in PAFA’s Morris
Gallery, Fernando Orellana: His Study of Life, featuring four
robotic machines that attempted to interact with the ghost of
Thomas Eakins a century after his death. Orellana took
inspiration from PAFA’s long-standing tradition of working
from the figure and Eakins’ archival materials to create the
installation.
His Study of Life was comprised of robotic machines outfitted with electromagnetic field (EMF), temperature, and
infrared (IR) monitors -- tools used by ghost hunters to detect
paranormal activity -- as well as some of Eakins’ personal

persistent memories gave way to awkward tension, and acutely
observed realities – and deceptions – paid homage to a lineage
of eclectic, eccentric object-making. Beauharnois, Hobbs and
Martolock navigated an institutional history while inquisitively reaching into the future.

possessions from PAFA’s archives. When the monitors sensed
fluctuations in PAFA’s Morris Gallery, each robot would help
Eakins’ ghost carry out a specific action.The most elaborate
robot allowed Eakins to create ghostly drawings of either the
photographs that he made when he was alive or new renderings made by his ghost’s direct navigation of the drawing robot.
Given that Eakins’ primary subject was the human figure,
the installation included figure models who posed for Eakins
as they would have done more than 130 years ago in the very
same building.

July 13—November 20, 2016

Dot, Dash, Dissolve featured work from the JoAnn Gonzalez
Hickey Collection selected by students in PAFA’s fall 2015
advanced drawing seminar, led by museum curator Robert
Cozzolino, and artist/faculty member Astrid Bowlby. As the
course progressed, the students brought their studio experience, class discussions, and experience with original artwork
and the broader art world to shape their choices. The unique
nature of Hickey’s collection, unified by paper as a medium for
marks made by a wide range of methods, led the class to consider the seemingly straightforward question, “What is drawing?” As students examined their own assumptions about the
role of drawing in their studios, they encountered new insights
inspired by works in Hickey’s collection.

Thomas Eakins: Photographer

World War I and American Art

October 19, 2016—January 29, 2017

November 4, 2016 - April 9. 2017
This exhibition of over 60 photographs, sculpture, and
paintings by Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) touched on many
issues of representation, gender, and sexuality that are as
relevant today as they were provocative when they were made.
Known primarily as a painter, Eakins taught and exhibited at
PAFA, and is inextricably linked with its history, and with innovative artistic practices in 19th century America.
This exhibition explored how his early adoption of the new
art and science of photography changed Eakins’ career, as well
as the course of American figurative art. In 1985, PAFA acquired a collection of over 600 photographic prints and negatives from one of Thomas Eakins’ students, Charles Bregler,
several of which were included in the exhibition. These works
provide an opportunity for the public to examine in detail for
the first time the depth of Eakins’ involvement with photography and to engage with photography as an art form, both
historically and in the present day.
Sponsors: Thomas Eakins: Photographer was supported by Judy Glickman
Lauder, and the Mapplethorpe Foundation. Additional funding provided by the
Newington-Cropsey Foundation, Charles Isaacs Photographs, NY, and Bob
Boris and Linda Seyda.
Curated by Susan Danly and Anna Marley with much gratitude to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and John Medveckis, lenders to the exhibition, and to
Spencer Wigmore who provided invaluable curatorial assistance.

Coinciding with the centenary of America’s involvement
with the war, World War I and American Art was the first
major exhibition devoted to exploring the ways in which
American artists responded to the First World War. The first
major museum exhibition to revisit this unprecedented global
event through the eyes of American artists, World War I and
American Art transformed the current understanding of art
made during the war and in its wake. The war’s impact on
art and culture was enormous, as nearly all of the era’s major
American artists interpreted their experiences, opinions and
perceptions of the conflict through their work.
World War I and American Art was organized around eight
themes: Prelude: The Threat of War; Hartley and Hassam: Tenuous Neutrality; Debating the War; Mobilization; Modernists
and the War; Battlefields; The Wounded and the Healers; and
Celebration and Mourning. Arranged to follow the narrative of
the war itself, the exhibition revealed how artists chronicled
their experiences of the unfolding war as it crept closer to
home and then involved them directly as soldiers, relief workers, political dissenters, and official war artists.
The exhibition included numerous high-profile loans, among
them John Singer Sargent’s monumental painting Gassed from
the Imperial War Museums in London. This painting, which
had not been seen in the United States since 1999, was part of
a commission to demonstrate British-American cooperation
during the war.

After the PAFA presentation, World War I and American Art
traveled to additional venues: New-York Historical Society
(May 26 - September 3, 2017) and the Frist Center for the
Visual Arts (October 6, 2017 - January 21, 2018).
World War I and American Art is made possible in part by major grants from the National
Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor, and from the Henry Luce
Foundation.
The Presenting Sponsor for this exhibition is the Exelon Foundation and PECO.
Additional funding provided by grants from the David A. and Helen P. Horn Charitable
Trust, Edwin L. Fountain, the Wyeth Foundation for American Art, The McCausland Foundation, the General Representation of the Government of Flanders to the USA, Mrs. Helen
Horn Bickell, Carolyn Horn Seidle, Ellen and Leonard Milberg , Furthermore: a program of
the J.M. Kaplan Fund, Bank of America,
Mr. and Mrs. Kevin F. Donohoe, Connie and Jules Kay, and Dr. and Mrs. J. Brien Murphy.
This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the
Humanities.

Special Exhibitions in 2016-17 are supported by Jonathan L. Cohen.

Melt/Carve/Forge: Embodied Sculptures By Cassils
November 19, 2016 —March 5, 2017

Cassils’ first solo museum exhibition in the United States
addressed timely concerns of the often forgotten violence used
against transgender bodies. Thinking of their body as
raw sculptural material, Cassils shaped their physique
through strict physical training regimes in order to perform
transgender as a continual process of becoming. Melt/Carve/
Forge featured the artist’s groundbreaking work in
photography, video, sculpture, and performance in conversation with PAFA’s 19th century building and historic American
art collection.
A series of concrete and bronze sculptures called The
Resilience of the 20% were on display, pieces cast from bashed
remnants of Cassils’ performance of Becoming an Image,
and proposed as a public monument of violence against
transgender and gender nonconforming people.Melt/Carve/
Forge was presented in conjunction with PAFA’s exhibition
Thomas Eakins: Photographer, which celebrated the centenary
of Eakins’ death. Cassils’ innovative approach to media and the
figure resonates with Eakins’ (at that time) incredibly forward
thinking attitude towards art-making and the human body.

Crosscurrents

December 1, 2016 —January 15, 2017
Crosscurrents was a juried, the first-of-its-kind exhibition
open exclusively to third- and fourth-year undergraduate students attending any of the 42 The Association of Independent
Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD) schools in the U.S. and
Canada. One artist in the exhibition was selected by the jurors
to receive a scholarship to PAFA’s MFA program.
Didier William, Chair of MFA Programs; Jan Baltzell,
Painting Professor; and Colleen Asper, Visiting Critic, served
as jurors. Of more than 300 submissions received, 37 artists
from Maine to California were selected to show their work in
Crosscurrents. Among the selected artists, Isabelle Schipper,
a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA),
was chosen as the recipient of a full-tuition scholarship to the
MFA program at PAFA. Schipper, a fourth-year painting major
at MICA, began her graduate studies at PAFA in fall 2017.

Drawn from Wood: Woodcuts by Dan Miller
A Big Story

November 25, 2016 —February 5, 2017
Curated by PAFA faculty member Al Gury, A Big Story was
a personal selection of works from PAFA’s collection, alumni
and faculty, Philadelphia illustrators associated with PAFA,
and objects from Gury’s collection. PAFA has trained numerous talented illustrators, including Maxfield Parrish, members
of the Ashcan School, and Violet Oakley, and continues to
train contemporary students in the practice of 21st-century
illustration. Through its high standards of skill-based training,
leading to creativity and personal vision, PAFA prepares its
students and alums to contribute to the world of storytelling,
social witness and visual engagement through a diverse range
of aesthetics and content.

16

February 7—April 8, 2017

The exhibition showcased work by Dan Miller, a master
woodblock printer and PAFA’s faculty for over 50 years.
According to PAFA faculty Dan Miller, individual truths can
be put to the cause of art. In view of the human complexity,
it seems such a direct and essential act to lift the essential
person from the stark simplicity of a pine board. Miller looked
for inspiration along the way by the work of artists who serve
as guides: the sobering depth of Eakins, the honest appraisals
of Antonio Frasconi and Leonard Baskin, and the many relentless German artists who left little of human nature unrevealed.
The exhibition explored how printmaking enables artists to
practice drawing effectively, and neutral surfaces, if given
conviction, can become empowered.

Anne Minich: The Truth of Being Both / And
February 15—May 14, 2017

116th Annual Student Exhibition
May 12—June 4, 2017
The 116th Annual Student Exhibition (ASE) featured works
by the school’s BFA students, third- and fourth-year undergraduates, and second-year MFA students. This long-standing
PAFA tradition offers students the opportunity to curate,
install, and sell their own works in PAFA’s museum galleries,
and is one of the most celebrated student group shows in the
country.
In addition to its role as an exhibition and sale, the ASE
includes a competition for the coveted Cresson, Schiedt, Von
Hess, Ware, and Women’s Board travel scholarships. It also
provides collectors and the general public with opportunities
to view and purchase works by PAFA’s prize-winning students
and rising stars in the art world.

The exhibition The Truth of Being Both / And showcased
Anne Minich’s dexterous drawings and meticulously painted
constructions, investigating the consistency and truth of
human duality, ambiguity, and multiplicity.
Minich, who attended PAFA in 1950s, is known for her
abstract, mixed-media paintings on wood that are often
inspired by architectural elements. Her work has been on view
in well over a dozen solo shows and many more group exhibitions, and she is the recipient of awards including a
Pollack–Krasner Award, the Leeway Foundation’s Bessie

Leah Modigliani: The City in Her Desolation

Paul Chan: Pillowsophia

June 8—August 27, 2017

March 22—May 28, 2017

As both an art historian and an artist, Leah Modigliani
studies the history of the avant-garde and its relationship to
political critique, the history of conceptual art, social dissent
since 1968, and feminist politics of visual representation and
discourse. While Artist-in-Residence at PAFA, Modigliani
delved into the institution’s history through its deep historical
archives in the Center for the Study of the American Artist.
She created an installation based on the histories and the fates
of two neoclassical figurative sculptures once commissioned
to be donated to PAFA: William Wetmore Story’s Jerusalem in
Her Desolation (1873) and G.B. Lombardi’s Deborah (1873).The

For this Morris Gallery installation, Paul Chan’s sculptural animation Pillowsophia (after Ghostface) was presented
alongside his new poem written with Badlands Unlimited,
an independent art book publisher founded in 2010 by Chan,
titled New No’s. Modeled on the inflatable fluttering figures
often seen at car dealerships, Pillowsophia evoked in a novel
animated form metaphors of violence and sacrifice, and used
the symbol of the hoodie as a visual and conceptual anchor.
New No’s, Badlands Unlimited’s response to the 2016 presidential election, firmly connects this violence to the current
political moment and powerfully declares the writer’s stand
against racism and discrimination. This work was acquired for
PAFA’s permanent collection.

fate of all cities, and the fragile promise of the social contract
of equality for all, is the subject of this work, which tracks the
banishment, disposal, and eventual reclamation of two important works of art.

Ben Volta: Pattern Process

From the PAFA Foundry: 30 Years of Casting

September 21 - November 20, 2016
Ben Volta (Certificate ‘02) creates intricate public murals
and sculptures, working at the intersection of education,
restorative justice, and urban planning. His exhibition in the
Alumni Gallery drew from multiple projects created with
students and recently incarcerated youth throughout the
city. These projects used a collaborative drawing process to
generate complex wholes that are more than the sum of their
parts. The murals incorporate this layering process within

November 30, 2016 - Febuary 5, 2017
their physical material on as many levels as possible: site,
scale, line, color, and collage. These formal considerations are
underwritten with conceptual concerns that explore layers of
social, historical and political context. The interplay between
intention and chance—pattern and improvisation—underlies
all stages of the process.

This exhibition focused on the influence PAFA’s foundry has
had on its alumni, and honoring those who have been stewards
and promoters of the tradition. It featured work by 17 artists,
from recent graduates to influential faculty member Gary
Weisman, illustrating the breadth and depth of PAFA-trained
sculptors’ work as well as the tight-knit artistic community
forged through the foundry.
Artists tied to PAFA’s foundry have gone on to form their
own businesses and collectives, collaborate on a wide variety

of projects, and freely share their knowledge and skills with
successive generations of PAFA sculptors. Artists whose work
was on view in this exhibition: Kate Brockman, Stephen Donahue, Pavel Efremoff, Ward Tom Elicker, Chad Fischer, John
Greig Jr., Zach Kainz, Joshua Koffman, Stephen Layne, Julia
Levitina, Elisabeth Nickles, George Nista, Sarah Peters, Katherine Stanek, Julia Stratton, Shane Stratton, Gary Weisman.

Anne Minich: Boat Series

Febuary 15, 2017 - April 16, 2017
The PAFA Alumni Gallery presents Anne Minich: Boat Series, a companion exhibition to The Truth of Being Both/And in
the Richard C. von Hess Foundation Works on Paper Gallery.
Minich, who attended PAFA in 1954 and 1955, is known for her
abstract, mixed-media paintings on wood that are often

inspired by architectural elements. She refers to them as
“painting/constructs” and incorporates “intentionally ordinary and mundane” found objects into her work. Minich also
creates her own wooden supports and framing treatments.

Murray Dessner: Illuminations
April 26, 2017 - July 16, 2017

Ben Volta, Pattern Process, pigment prints on mural cloth

Celebrated artist and art educator Murray Dessner (19342012) was born in Philadelphia and attended PAFA, where
he went on to teach painting and drawing from 1970 to 2012,
shepherding and inspiring countless young artists. Dessner
was best known as a painter of large-scale, luminous, nonobjective works on canvas. The paintings presented in this
exhibition, however, were rare: smaller in scale and on paper,
but still showing his continuous exploration of dimension and
light. His paintings are in the collections of the Philadelphia
Museum of Art, PAFA, and the Woodmere Museum. His work
is also represented in other institutional collections such as
the Cornell Fine Art Center in Florida, Pacific University in
Oregon, Colgate University in New York, Bryn Mawr College
in Pennsylvania, Villanova University in Pennsylvania, and
Widener University Law School in Delaware.

Student Life

Commencement
Another year filled with programming kept the student
community active and involved. Favorites like bus trips to
New York, First Friday coffee hours, movie nights, and Visiting
Artists Program lectures filled the year, and the annual Print
Sale in December and Open Studio Night connected students
with patrons as PAFA opened its doors to the public. Student
care and well-being were the focus of our new mindfulness
training sessions and first annual Health and Wellness Fair
that brought resourceful community services and programs
to campus. Student leadership continued to grow with new
groups and initiatives such as the Yoga Club, Self Defense Club,
and PAFA Performs, and a new Student Leadership Council
brought together the campus organizers for professional
development and school-wide brainstorming. Students
demonstrated an increased interest in social action this year,
through initiatives such as a print sale to support Planned
Parenthood, a public artmaking event on Lenfest Plaza in
response to the proposed cuts to federal funding for the arts,
and robust participation in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day
of Service with other Philadelphia art schools. This year,
thirty-nine students and two PAFA residential staff members
occupied the top two floors of Stiles Hall, a Drexel University
residence located two blocks from PAFA. With close proximity
to campus, student programming could extend more easily into
evening hours with group potluck meals, birthday parties and
student celebrations.

Joan Semmel addressed the class of 2017 as the
Commencement speaker. A feminist painter, professor,
and writer, Semmel was born and raised in New York City,
where she graduated from Cooper Union and Pratt Institute.
She began as an abstract painter but is best known for the
large-scale nude self-portraits she has been making since
the 1970s. She has long been involved in the feminist
movement and feminist art groups devoted to gender
equality in the art world. Semmel’s works are found in
museum collections including the Brooklyn Museum of Art;
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Blanton Museum of Art,
Austin, Texas; Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia;
National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington; The
Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, New York; among
others. She has taught at the Brooklyn Museum and the
Maryland Institute College of Art, and is Professor
Emeritus of Painting at Rutgers University.
Anne Minich, whose dexterous drawings and meticulously painted constructions investigate the consistency
and the truth of human duality, ambiguity, and multiplicity,
received the 2017 Distinguished Alumni Award. Minich, who
attended PAFA in 1954 and 1955, is known for her abstract,
mixed-media paintings on wood that are often inspired by
architectural elements. Minich’s work is collected by
museums and private collectors, and she is the recipient
of awards including a Pollock–Krasner Award, the Leeway
Foundation’s Bessie Berman Painting Award, and a
MacDowell Colony Fellowship

Lorraine Riesenbach, co-founder and director of the
Artists’ House Gallery in Philadelphia, received the 2017
Alumni Service Award. Riesenbach and her husband Marvin
ran the gallery in Philadelphia’s Old City neighborhood for
22 years before retiring in 2013. Riesenbach, who received
her Certificate from PAFA in 1991, through her work at Artists’ House provided many emerging young artists with their
earliest opportunities to exhibit in a gallery and nurtured the
careers of untold emerging artists from PAFA and beyond.

Career Services
Career Services has been helping students develop the
cultural capital to launch their professional careers and
to support the acquisition of tools and habits, which will
enable them to continue their artmaking practices. Students
worked individually with the Director of Career Services
and attended more than thirty workshops during the year,
interacting with professional artists, PAFA alumni working
in a variety of fields, arts administrators, professors, and
museum and gallery professionals. PAFA has been working
with students on creating ambitious post graduate plans,
encouraging students to explore residencies, fellowships,
graduate study and grant opportunities. This year, for
example, two students were accepted to the highly competitive Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture residency
program, and one student made it to the final round of the
Fulbright US Student Program. PAFA students are currently
enrolled in or graduated from programs at Pratt Institute,
Yale School of Art, School of the Art Institute of Chicago,
Texas Tech University, the International Preservation
Studies Center, the Fabric Workshop and Museum,
AmeriCorps, and other places.
24

Very often, students obtain their first taste of professional
engagement while at PAFA. Many students will complete
internships with museum departments and other students
will commit to off-campus opportunities. PAFA students
interned at many sites including the Paleobotany Department at the University of Pennsylvania, Mural Arts Philadelphia, galleries throughout the region, the Academy of
Natural Sciences, and with the distinguished artist (and
PAFA alumna) Anne Minich. The Fine Arts Venture Fund,
now in its fourth year, supports PAFA students with direct
project grants, offering an opportunity to write grant
proposals, develop budgets and present projects before a
panel of funders. This year, sixteen recipients were given
essential support for their studio work. The Career Services
department also administers the Anne Bryan Memorial
Award, which helps launch a graduating student in their
professional career. In the third year of this award, Fang
Fang Ren received funds to enable her to work in Berlin with
an NGO supporting refugees from Syria.

Artist in Residence
Leah Modigliani:
The City in Her Desolation
Leah Modigliani was PAFA’s Artist in Residence for
2016-17, both artist and art historian who studies the
history of the avant-garde and its relationship to political critique, the history of conceptual art, social dissent
since 1968, and feminist politics of visual representation and discourse. Her creative and scholarly interventions employ the methods and languages of a variety
of disciplines including fine arts, art history, critical
theory, cultural studies, geography, and anthropology.
Based on research of the archives that Modigliani
conducted over the past year in PAFA’s Study for the
Center of the American Artist, she created six new
artworks inspired by the fates of two neoclassical
figurative sculptures: William Wetmore Story’s Jerusalem in Her Desolation (1873) and Giovanni Battista
Lombardi’s Deborah (1873). Both unveiled to great
fanfare at the opening celebration of PAFA’s Historic
Landmark Building in 1876, the works were marked for
de-accessioning decades later when aesthetic tastes had
changed.
“I found the narrative of Jerusalem and Deborah so
rich in contemporary meanings: female personifications of justice and faith banished or destroyed; ethical
questions about the destruction of artworks; the role of
visual culture in mediating trauma and politics; the individual’s attempt to take responsibility for a collective
wrong, and so much more,” Modigliani states. “What
power decides why one city is allowed to stand, but not
another; why one body is banned from civic space, but
not another?”
PAFA’s Artist in Residence studio is a gift of Howard
Sacks and Vesna Todorovic Sacks.

Broad Street Studio
The Broad Street Studio had its inaugural project in October of 2016. The first project, a collaborative effort between
faculty member Stuart Shils and nine of his students, set
the proverbial creative bar for the new school-museum
space. The following months of programming would come
to embrace a spirit of experimentation, collaboration, and
interaction with the public. Students carried out individual
projects which would expand their practice into uncharted

territory, frequently responding to the challenging space
which is uniquely shaped and less suitable for conventional
wall dependant works. School faculty members would commit to projects that encouraged PAFA students to dialogue
with students in other disciplines from Philadelphia universities, a lively video performance was presented by the MFA
Moving Images class, and two culminating thesis exhibitions
were mounted in the space.

Currents
Currents: The Summer Residency at PAFA was created by
PAFA’s Graduate School to provide rising undergraduate seniors with a rigorous, six-week summer residency experience.
The structure of Currents is one that is closely aligned with
that of an MFA program, providing residents with the space,
time, and critical rigor to sustain and support a practice based
in all types of media.
Currents provides each artist with an individual studio
space, individual and group critiques, student housing, as well
as intensive studio coursework in painting and drawing; print
and digital media; and sculpture and installation. Students are
granted full access to PAFA’s generously furnished print shop,
woodshop, foundry, and digital lab. Additionally, students
attend visiting artist lectures, and go on local museum and

gallery visits, as well as off-campus trips to New York City and
Washington, DC.
The 2017 Currents: The Summer Residency at PAFA welcomed 18 students from 11 different institutions across the
United States, all working in a variety of media – from painting
and sculpture, to installation and video. 2017 Currents faculty,
critics, and visiting artists included Colleen Asper (Currents
Program Director), Troy Michie, Astrid Bowlby, Didier William, Sarah Peters, Jodi Throckmorton, Kelli Morgan, with
visiting artists Abigail DeVille and Chie Fueki.
Six full scholarships were given in memory of Dina Wind,
three of which went to women residents working in sculpture,
installation, assemblage, or video.

Steven Montgomery works primarily in clay, transforming

his subjects through trompe l’oeil techniques. His work is
concerned with the evolution and demise of industrial
manufacturing. Montgomery received an MFA from the Tyler
School of Art at Temple University and a BA in Philosophy
from Grand Valley State University. He is a 2012 recipient of a
Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship that allowed him to
work as an artist-in-residence at the National Air and Space
Museum in Washington D.C.

Adam Helms, a Brooklyn-based artist, uses historical

photographic portraits and western iconography to investigate archetypes of social and political identity. Helms often
appropriates archival imagery in his charcoal drawings, screen
prints, assemblages, and installations. These printed materials
are equally recognizable and anonymous, and recontextualize
these historical artifacts. His work is held in numerous
collections including The Guggenheim Museum in New York
and the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, Netherlands.

Josh Reames received an MFA from the School of the Art

Institute of Chicago in 2012, and a BFA from the University of
North Texas in 2007. In his work, Reames combines trompe
l’oeil techniques to mimic everything from comics to neon
signage to objects that seem to hover just off the surface of the
canvas. His work references a diversity of mark making in the
digital era, and often addresses topics such as online escapism
and our shared cultural image-bank. Reames has exhibited
widely, including solo shows at Josh Lilley Gallery in London
and Brand New Gallery in Milan, both in 2015.

David Schutter’s practice is a form of phenomenological study
that discusses the distances and problems encountered when
making a painting. He completed his undergraduate studies at
PAFA (Certificate ’96) and received his MFA from the University of Chicago. Schutter has had solo exhibitions at The
Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Gemäldegalerie
Berlin, Germany; the National Gallery of Modern Art, Scotland; Istituto Centrale per la Grafica, Palazzo Poli, Rome; and

PAFA IN THE
COMMUNITY

Museum Education
Family Programs
Family Arts Academy

PAFA’s flagship program for family audiences continued
offering Sunday afternoon workshops for the whole
family throughout the school year. PAFA was able to offer 27
workshops at the museum completely free of charge to all
participants and to provide 22 free community workshops
at locations all over the city. The workshops are all taught by
local artists from the Philadelphia area, including many PAFA
alumni.

PAFA Art Camp

PAFA’s Summer camp program continued to flourish and
provide an important way to engage with families during out
of school time as well as an important benefit to PAFA staff.
In Summer 2016, PAFA offered 28 different camps for 400+
students ages 5 to 15, including camps like “Art Detectives,”
“Color Chemistry” and “Graphic Novels.” Each week of camp
ends with an exhibition and reception for the whole family in
PAFA’s historic cast hall. PAFA was also able to offer needbased scholarships to 26 deserving students from around the
area.

K-12 Programs
School Group Visits and Outreach

PAFA art educators provided programming for 5,100
participants in its school-based program, visiting classrooms
around the region and facilitating 121 field trips for area school
groups. PAFA also participated in 5 professional development
opportunities with 300 area teachers to help them incorporate the visual arts, and PAFA’s extraordinary collections and
exhibitions specifically, into their classroom teaching. PAFA
also worked monthly with homeschool groups, providing their
visual art curriculum for students studying on their own, and
continued to partner with the City of Philadelphia’s Parks and
Recreation department during the summer months, to help
prevent summer reading loss in students by doing literacybased art projects at summer camps around the region.

peri-professional training for 11 youth throughout the year,
including field trips to other museums and introductions
on how to pursue a career in the arts, and they subsequently
planned 3 events for other teens around the region to attend
including Teen Poetry nights and a Propaganda Poster workshop during World War I and American Art. The Youth Council
also got to work closely with museum staff on a major exhibition project in the spring, in which they curated A Series of
Mistakes: The Art of Motherwell for PAFA’s public audience.
During the summer months, PAFA gave six teen participants
the opportunity to experience life as a museum staff member
by employing them to participate in its summer art programming for seven weeks.

School and Community Partnership

PAFA’s flagship program for community engagement
continues to pursue new relationships and opportunities in the
North Kensington and Feltonville neighborhoods as part of its
multi-year commitment to four underserved schools - Isaac A.
Sheppard Elementary School, Julia de Burgos School,
Feltonville Intermediate and Feltonville Arts and Sciences.
The 2,300 students at these four schools are among some of the
most economically underresourced in the region and PAFA’s
partnership has helped to provide supplies, new arts-based
curricula, free teacher professional development, free trips out
of the neighborhood and into center city and even art therapy
workshops for struggling parents, all elements contributing to
PAFA’s goal of helping to build stronger communities and more
creative children through arts programming. With a focus on
literacy through art in a primarily bilingual neighborhood, and
over a dozen community partners sharing in the endeavor,
PAFA is laying the groundwork for art to be a critical tool in
neighborhood problem solving, family communication and
academic achievement in Philadelphia. PAFA’s end of year
festival for these families also drew over 350 attendees from
these two communities for a day of Latino music and
creativity, the best attendance yet for this new initiative.

Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) for Teens

PAFA’s multi-tiered program to engage teens around the city
continued in its third year of implementation, inviting teens
into the museum to help guide PAFA’s development of initiatives for this burgeoning new audience.
PAFA’s Student Docent Program continued to train young
people to give inquiry-based tours to their peers, working with
a wide variety of schools like Hallahan Catholic Girls High

Adult Programs
Art at Lunch

For over 20 years, this free lunchtime lecture series has
provided an opportunity for the public as well as PAFA
students and members for midday talks that bring new
dimension to PAFA’s collections, exhibitions, and interests in
American Art. 24 lectures brought in 1,142 visitors to PAFA
to hear about its programming and engage with art historians
and artists about their work.

PAFA After Dark

PAFA continued hosting evening hours on Wednesday
nights from 5 pm to 9pm, pursuing weeknight collaborations
and programming opportunities that brought the museum
galleries to life in myriad ways. From scavenger hunts to jazz
concerts to panels on how to price artwork, PAFA provided 52
weeks of evening entertainment and education for all audiences. PAFA also highlighted ten evenings with high level
programming that premiered newly commissioned theatrical
plays, dance performances, and musical compositions, all in
PAFA’s lauded, collection-filled spaces.

Procession: The Art of Norman Lewis
Exhibition Programming

PAFA augmented the works on view in the exhibition with
a series of programs that provided an interdisciplinary look
at Norman Lewis’s life, career and inspirations. Over 1,900
school children visited the exhibition, art educators brought
his story into 43 classrooms around the region, and PAFA
hosted 10 different family friendly events for parents and
children to experience the exhibition together. 23 public
programs brought the exhibition to life for adult audiences,
including the commissioning of a completely new series of
contemporary jazz pieces by Philadelphia composer Marcell
Bellinger in collaboration with the Philadelphia Jazz Project,
each inspired by an individual artwork in the exhibition;
a Black Artists Matter panel discussion; in-gallery
performances by Graffito Works and Art Sanctuary; and a sold
out Scholar’s Day for nationally renowned art historians. The
exhibition closed with a once in a lifetime appearance by 25
esteemed African American artists from around the country who came to PAFA for one day to honor their friend and
colleague along with a public audience, including remarks by
Richard Mayhew, Sam Gilliam, Faith Ringgold, Mel Edwards
and others.

World War I and American Art
Exhibition Programming

PAFA augmented the works on view in the tremendously
successful major exhibition with a series of programs that
provided a humanities-based look at the cultural production in
the United States during World War I.
Staff gave 19 free lectures at community locations to over
600 people, 9 hands-on workshops for adults, 7 hands-on
workshops for families and hosted 78 field trips inside the
exhibition. 49 public programs brought the exhibition to life
for a diverse group of adult audiences, including the commissioning of a new play by Jacqueline Goldfinger about the
experience of artists serving on the front lines, drawn from
PAFA’s archival material, a film series in partnership with
iHouse that screened films from the World War I era, and a two
day long international symposium in March which included
six museum partners from around the city.

Art and Medicine

PAFA continues to build on its history of training both
artists and doctors to understand the human body through
its partnership with three medical schools – The Kimmel
College of Medicine at Jefferson University, Drexel College
of Medicine and Cooper Medical Hospital at Rowan University. Education staff work closely with physicians to develop
workshops, classes and tours that heighten medical students’
ability to observe closely and accurately, to build empathy and
emotional intelligence into their clinical practice, and to identify and dismantle cognitive biases that lead to medical errors.
This innovative program merges PAFA’s history of studying
the human body with contemporary curriculum issues around
reintroducing the humanities into the medical field and is
creating whole new audiences for PAFA’s
collection and exhibitions.

Continuing Education
Through its art classes, workshops, and special programs,
the Continuing Education (CE) program served over 1,800
participants in FY 2017. The Open Academy program was
introduced, allowing CE and non-matriculated students the
opportunity to take PAFA school courses for credit or noncredit. The program saw ten students enrolled during its initial
run.
The CE Summer Studio/Critique program offered artists
and educators a private PAFA studio, weekly critiques on their
artwork from noted artists and art-world professionals as well
as the support and interaction of an artistic community. In
FY 2017 critics included Neysa Grassi, Anda Dubinskis, Celia
Reisman, Jan Baltzell, Scott Noel, and Jodi Throckmorton,
PAFA Curator of Contemporary Art. Duncan also taught a new
CE class on campus, Creative Coping: Art as Expression for
Teens, designed to help teenagers with their communication
and coping skills with an art therapy emphasis.
In the fall of 2016, the CE program worked with PAFA
Corporate Partner Brandywine Living to offer two classes
for seniors on location at their assisted living facilities in
Voorhees and Morristown, N.J. Classes were taught by Dona
Duncan, CE faculty, PAFA docent and registered art therapist.
My Life Story, an exhibition of the seniors’ artwork was held in
the Connelly Community Education Center at PAFA.
The Summer Academy for High School Students is PAFA’s
five-week pre-college program designed for talented and
motivated young people intent on a fine arts education.
Additionally, stand-alone courses for high school students in
drawing, painting, comics, printmaking , and sculpture were
also offered in the summer and on Saturdays during the fall
and spring. New classes in illustration, watercolor, photography and Plein Air landscape painting were introduced in FY
2017. The Maguire Foundation provided generous scholarship
support for Maguire Scholar students enrolled in summer
classes.
The Francis M. Maguire Pre-College at PAFA was
introduced, a 24-week, intensive drawing and painting course
for students from Maguire Foundation partner schools.
Instruction was delivered both on campus and online in a
blended format, and students earn college credit upon
completion. Enrollment in PAFA’s pre-college programming
exceeded 180 students.
The CE program also featured weekend Master Classes, offering students the opportunity to work with acclaimed artists,
including notable PAFA alumni, and attracting a national and
international audience to PAFA (over 150 in FY 2017). Artists
who participated included renowned painter Alex Kanevsky,
Kate Samworth, cartoonist Matt Madden, Dan Miller, Stuart
Shils, Neysa Grassi, Christine Lafuente, John MacDonald and
Bill Scott. A highlight was Avian Drawing with Patricia Traub
which featured live birds from the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia.

PAFA Northwest

PAFA Northwest was a new project for the 2016 holiday
season. PAFA opened a creative pop-up space on Germantown
Avenue in the heart of Chestnut Hill that offered retail gifts, art
classes, and special programs. The highlight of the store was
nearly 100 works of art for sale by current PAFA students. The
season was a success! PAFA sold over a dozen paintings with
60% of the proceeds going back to the students. The pop-up
generated over fifty-thousand dollars in sales during the holiday season and introduced countless people from Northwest
Philadelphia to PAFA’s mission. Special thanks to Bowman
properties for supporting the effort.

DEVELOPMENT

PAFA First Capital Campaign
PAFA First: For the Future of American Art is the
capital campaign to support the first phase of PAFA’s
transformative Campus Master Plan. The Plan aims to ensure
that PAFA will continue to be a leading force in collecting and
exhibiting contemporary art, engaging the public through
community programming, and educating the next generation
of American artists.
By the conclusion of the campaign, PAFA will have
created 40,000 square feet of new programmatic space to
expand its curriculum and public programs, increased its
overall art storage capacity by 80%, completed critical
renovations to both its buildings, and generated a significant
economic impact for the institution and Philadelphia at large.
Last year, PAFA celebrated reaching the halfway point
of the campaign’s $25 million goal by hosting a public launch
event and party on Lenfest Plaza. As of June 30, 2016, PAFA
has raised over $16 million in support of the campaign—64%
of the overall goal. A number of generous grants were made
in support of the campaign during that time: The Horace W.
Goldsmith Foundation awarded a grant of $500,000 to support
the replacement of skylights in the Historic Landmark Building (HLB); The Connelly Foundation made a grant of $350,000
to construct and name the Connelly Foundation Community
Education Center; and The Arcadia Foundation made an
unrestricted grant of $100,000 in support of the campaign.

PAFA completed numerous critical campaign
projects in 2016-17, including:
Skylights and Roof Repair

Architect Frank Furness’s incorporation of skylights
into the Historic Landmark Building in 1876 was
groundbreaking at its time. By 2013, the skylights and roof
required critical repairs. By investing campaign funds into
extensive renovations, PAFA has ensured the safety and
preservation not only of this important piece of architectural history, but also of the peerless collection of American
art exhibited and stored within it.

Broad Street Studio

This dynamic street-facing gallery and studio space was
completed in the fall of 2016. In its first year, the Studio
played host to over a dozen rotating exhibitions of work by
PAFA students. Made possible by a grant from the Albert M.
Greenfield Foundation, the Studio showcases PAFA’s dual
focuses on art making and art exhibition.

Planning for Arts Center

Working with renowned architectural firm DLR Group,
PAFA reached the final stages of architectural planning for
a new multidisciplinary Arts Center in 2016-17. Scheduled
to break ground in the fall of 2017, the project will transform
15,000 square feet of unused and underutilized space in the
Lower Level of the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building into a
state-of-the-art venue for concerts, dance performances,
lectures, and other events. The Arts Center will include a
275-seat auditorium, a gallery and reception space showcasing student work, and a new Post-WWII Art Collection
Vault. Additionally, PAFA has partnered with seven Philadelphia-based arts organizations to develop a robust and
diverse schedule of performances for the auditorium stage.

Planning for Façade Updates to the Hamilton Building

In the coming months, PAFA will implement plans to
dramatically transform the Samuel M.V. Hamilton
Building’s exterior, reinvigorating the building’s presence on Broad Street. These plans, which were designed in
conjunction with the DLR Group, will see the replacement
of the windows on the 1st and 2nd floors with transparent
glass. This change will open up the building’s galleries to the
street, putting the museum and school’s dual missions on
display to visitors and the public. More importantly, a new
signage project will improve PAFA’s visibility and promote
its status as the city’s premier venue for visual art.

ADA Elevator and Restrooms

In early 2017, PAFA completed construction on a new
universal entrance and elevator in the Historic Landmark
Building, as well as a new ADA-compliant restroom. Three
additional accessible restrooms are scheduled for construction under the Campus Master Plan. These important
projects are the next steps in increasing PAFA’s commitment to ensuring that the HLB is comfortable and accessible
for all visitors, students, and staff.

Grant Highlights

Membership

A major grant of $300,000 from the National Endowment
for the Humanities supported PAFA’s landmark exhibition
World War I and American Art, an exhibition coinciding with
the centenary of America’s involvement in the war, and the
first major exhibition devoted to exploring the ways in which
American artists responded to the First World War. PAFA also
received generous grant support for the exhibition from the
David A. and Helen P. Horn Charitable Trust, Henry Luce
Foundation, PECO and the Exelon Foundation, and Wyeth
Foundation for American Art.
As part of a major three-year commitment, The William
Penn Foundation continued its support of PAFA’s School and
Community Partnership Program, which provides free educational arts programming to students, teachers, and families at
four schools - Isaac A. Sheppard Elementary, Julia de Burgos
School, Feltonville School of Arts and Sciences, and Feltonville Intermediate – year-round. All four schools have student
bodies that are 60-85% Hispanic, with many students learning
English as a second language, and 100% of students coming
from low-income families.
In addition to its ongoing support of the Maguire Award for
Artist Excellence, the Maguire Foundation made a grant of
$30,000 to launch the Frances M. Maguire Pre-College Program at PAFA. This intensive program for high school seniors
is modeled on the experience of first-year students enrolled
in PAFA’s BFA program, emphasizing observational skills and
proficiency with materials and techniques. Students completing the course earned 3 college credits.
The W.W. Smith Charitable Trust renewed its commitment
to PAFA’s students with an increased gift of $65,000 towards
scholarships for students residing in the Greater Philadelphia
region. The Richard C. von Hess Foundation also renewed
its scholarship support with a three-year commitment to fund
a full-tuition scholarship each year, including fees and an additional $5,000 Travel Award.
In 2016-17, PAFA received significant support from several
government agencies, including $94,000 in general support
from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts; $50,000 from the
Institute of Museum and Library Services in support of the
School and Community Partnership program; $30,000 from
the National Endowment for the Arts in support of School,
Teacher, and Family Programs; and $15,000 from the Philadelphia Cultural Fund in general operating support.

This year, 3,013 general members were served and PAFA
welcomed 603 new members. Members continued to enjoy
exhibition opening receptions, engaging lectures, and art
making experiences guided by PAFA faculty members in the
Members Make Series. PAFA members also enjoyed enhanced
access to special exhibitions through Members-Only Gallery
Hours and the Curator Conversation Series, which provides
members with an intimate curator and artist-led tour of the
galleries. PAFA is grateful to all of its members for their loyal
support and for being ambassadors in Philadelphia’s arts community.

A Bubbly Toast: The Annual Members Reception

PAFA celebrated the support of its members with a festive,
year-end bubbly toast at the Annual Members Reception.
Members enjoyed exclusive access to the galleries as they gathered with PAFA’s leadership team to toast to the accomplishments of 2016 and learn about exciting projects planned for the
year ahead. PAFA looks forward to celebrating with members
again at the next Annual Members Reception.

Young Friends of PAFA

The Young Friends of PAFA enjoyed their first full year of
programming designed exclusively for culturally engaged
young professionals. Under the leadership of Committee CoChairs, Ian and Uyen Lowe, the Young Friends launched their
annual cocktail reception, Uncorked, offered a series of gallery
and studio visits for Young Collectors, and welcomed young
professionals and artists to the Open Studio Night After Party.
PAFA looks forward to continuing to engage young professionals through social, educational, networking, and philanthropic
programs in the year ahead.

Events
Bacchanal

Peale Circle

Bacchanal is PAFA’s flagship wine affair, attended by over
350 wine and art lovers raising over $500,000 annually to
support PAFA student scholarships and community education
programs. The 18th Annual Wine Auction and Gala celebrated
the wines of Australia and presented Hentley Farm Wines with
the 2016 Jefferson Award. Accepting the award for Hentley
Farm Wines, named 2015 Australian Winery of the Year by
wine writer and critic James Halliday, was Raymond Spencer, chairman and owner, and Andrew Quin, winemaker. The
dinner was prepared by Best of Australia award-winning chef
Lachlan Colwill of Hentley Farm’s Relais & Chateaux Restaurant. The four-course meal was paired with Hentley Farm
wines and followed by live music and dancing. Hugh Hildesley
of Sotheby’s, New York, acted as the auctioneer for the evening.

The Peale Circle, PAFA’s leadership membership group, had
a another wonderful year with many varied opportunities to
explore art, including exhibition opening receptions for the
museum, as well as exclusive experiences with the school
during Open Studio Night, the Annual Print Sale, and the 116th
Annual Student Exhibition.
