Please join us for a reception to celebrate the opening of The Women of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts: Past to Present. On view will be a selection of paintings by historical PAFA graduates as well as the work of such artists as Elizabeth Osborne, Emily Brown, Mia Rosenthal, Mariel Capanna, Christina Weaver, and Aubrey Levinthal to name only a few.

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) was one of the first art academies in the United States to accept women as students and offer them the opportunity for an excellent artistic education. Since then, PAFA has provided foundational professional training for generations of women artists. Avery Galleries will host an exhibition that focuses on a selection of PAFA’s historic and contemporary women graduates.
