124th Annual Student Exhibition Preview Party

Join us for the 124th Annual Student Exhibition Preview Party, hosted by the Women's Committee of PAFA, with 2025 Co-chairs Pia Halloran and June Marshall Smith, and Honorary Chairs Lauren and Andrew Addis.

For more than a century, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts’ Annual Student Exhibition (ASE) has been the capstone academic achievement for our students. The ASE Preview Party, hosted by and celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Women's Committee of PAFA is Thursday, May 8, 2025, 4:30-8:30 PM.

Proceeds from the ASE Preview Party support fine arts training at PAFA and event guests enjoy first access to the sale of our rising artists’ work, along with numerous other benefits. Not only is the Preview Party an opportunity to support rising artists on the cusp of their professional careers, it is also a chance to connect with fellow art lovers and become the first collectors of tomorrow’s art stars.

The Annual Student Exhibition has been a launching stage for the careers of some of PAFA's acclaimed alumni, from living artists such as Bo Bartlett, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, and Elizabeth Osborne, to titans of the PAFA legacy, including Edna Andrade, Daniel Garber, Barkley L. Hendricks, and Laura Wheeler Waring. Join us this year to celebrate our students' part in this rich creative legacy.
