We welcome visits from prospective students and their families and friends. We offer group and individual tours of our two buildings, as well as portfolio reviews to prospective Certificate, BFA, Post Baccalaureate, and MFA applicants. Individual reviews and tours are our most popular way of showing you the modern and the historic facilities here at PAFA.
The staff in the Office of Admissions at PAFA is amazing...but small. Because of this, and the fact that we are a very popular place to visit, all tours and portfolio reviews are done by appointment only.

We continue to be one of the few schools that offers individual tours to prospective and newly accepted applicants and their families. We offer our individual tours on Monday through Friday. Please note that if visiting our museum is also a part of your plan, it is closed on Mondays.
Additional visitor information, including directions to our campus and recommendations for discounted parking, can be found here.
Special Notice For Visitors (posted: 25 August 2010): Cherry Street, immediately adjacent to PAFA, will be closed periodically as preparations are made to permanently renovate the block between Broad and 15th Street for the new Lenfest Plaza. Because of this, it may not be possible to turn onto Cherry Street from Broad. Please plan to add extra time to your trip if you are visiting the School of Fine Arts or our museum. You can avoid this construction by using the Parkway Corporation Garage on the southwest corner of Broad and Race Streets. We apologize for any inconvenience.
