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.
PAFA is pleased to be a partner in Philadelphia One Big Campus. You can visit

Additional visitor information, including directions to our campus and recommendations for discounted parking, can be found here.
NOTE: The Pennsylvania Convention Center, our new neighbor across the street, is expanding. This expansion may cause traffic delays and diversions. We encourage visitors to leave early to allow for any disruptions and to provide adequate time to park.
