Ready to look behind the scenes at installing ASE? Students have been hard at work curating and installing in the PAFA museum for the 121st Annual Student Exhibition, opening May 13!

Process Sped Up Video
Aimee Liriano is at work on a large-scale illustration exploring the roots of her ancestry for the 121st Annual Student Exhibition. "In the past couple of years, I grew more and more curious about my ancestry and what it means to live in my body as somebody from the Caribbean. I wanted to represent each and every part of me that comes up in my DNA, using the idea of native flora and fauna from each region, while also highlighting the most important of them for me."
Be the first to see finished student work at the ASE Preview Party on May 12! Attendees support student scholarships and enjoy first access to the sale of our rising artists’ work, along with a host of other benefits. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3k7feCW #PAFAase2022 #PAFAannualstudentexhibition

Yesterday was so exciting! Thanks to the almost 500 young artists who came through National Portfolio Day over the course of the day; their parents, grandparents, counselors, and other supporters who got them here (and helped carry the large works 💪); artists and reps from 45 art schools who came from around the country; and a special shout out to PAFA faculty Deon Robinson and Doug Martenson for speaking with the students about their work.
Congrats to the students who took that important step and put their work out there! We hope there were lots of helpful seeds of inspiration. 💫
Vizcarra Rankin excerpt 2
Ana Vizcarra Rankin, Artist (MFA '12) speaks about her work "Global Optimization Diagram," on view in “Taking Space: Contemporary Women Artists and the Politics of Scale." Watch the full video here: https://bit.ly/2UIjNdI
"Global Optimization Diagram" was purchased by the PAFA museum for the Judith McGregor Caldwell Purchase Prize at the Annual Student Exhibition in May 2012, and is now featured as part of the PAFA permanent collection alongside multiple generations of important artists in this exhibition. "Taking Space" invites viewers to consider how size and repetition can be interpreted as political gestures in the practices of many women artists.

Driving towards city hall down North Broad is looking different these summer nights...
PAFA is proud to present Picture Consequences, a summer-long outdoor screening of animations by the Philadelphia Animation Ensemble.
During the winter of 2020 in the wake of the pandemic, a group of animation artists began meeting virtually with the mission of cultivating an independent animation community in Philadelphia. They are drawn together by a common passion for animation as a medium for experimentation. The Philadelphia Animation Ensemble consists of artists residing in the Philadelphia area. Members are involved with other art groups including Marginal Utility, Krissy Talking Pictures, Spiral Q, and Tiger Strikes Asteroid as well as various institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania, PAFA, University of the Arts, and Moore College of Art. Among the collective are puppeteers, motion graphics artists, UX designers, professors, and doulas.

Expression in Lockdown
As we come to the end of the school year, we pause to reflect on the creativity and resilience of our PAFA students during COVID-19. This video with Majo and Taylor was originally made in November 2020.
Rewatching it now and seeing how you adapted, developed, and (to use Taylor's word) evolved, we honor all that you brought forth this year in your art and in our community to keep each other safe.
