Board of Trustees

"The varied talents and perspectives that each member brings promise to be valuable as the Board works to advance the good fortunes of this unique cultural treasure," states Donald R. Caldwell, Board Chair.

Board members are chosen because of their expressed interest and recognized ability to further the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' mission. Through instruction, acquisitions and exhibitions, the Pennsylvania Academy transmits the nation's cultural heritage—as expressed in the visual arts—to succeeding generations, and gives context to that heritage.
