The School of Fine Art capstone event, featuring work by third- and fourth-year undergraduate students and second-year graduate students

The Annual Student Exhibition (ASE) is a long-standing PAFA tradition allowing School of Fine Arts students the opportunity to curate, install, and sell their own works in the museum galleries.

This year, the ASE is on-view from Friday, May 12 through Sunday, June 4 in the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building. Visit the galleries Thursday through Sunday and view and purchase art online anytime here. 

The ASE also includes a competition for coveted museum purchase prizes and the Cresson, Rubens, Schiedt, von Hess, Ware, and Women’s Committee travel scholarships, awarded on the same celebratory weekend as the ASE Preview Party and the School of Fine Arts Commencement.
