During the years between 1940 and 1960, the Academy's exhibition schedule was dominated by its two Annual Exhibitions, and the "Philadelphia Artists' Gallery," a series of small exhibitions by contemporary local artists which ran from 1946 to 1957. Staffing and financial constraints precluded a more complex program, until the mid 1960s when major exhibitions either organized in-house, or brought in from outside, were regularly supported.
Presentations of the work of living regional artists resumed at the Academy in the School's Peale House Gallery in 1964, and an ambitious schedule of contemporary exhibitions was inaugurated in 1978 with the Morris Gallery Program, a series held in the Broad and Cherry building. Separate lists are available for these two series.
Another series of exhibitions, for which separate lists must be consulted, is that held in the Print Room. This space on the ground floor, now the café, housed the Academy's extensive collection of European prints and drawings. From 1940-54, as many as ten brief, small-scale, exhibitions were mounted there each year (known as the Print Room, 1940-47; the Student Gallery, 1948-50; the Little Gallery, 1951-54; the History Gallery, 1976-94). The work was either drawn from the print collection, or related to graphic art such as magazine illustration, or produced by students and recent alumni. Virtually no printed matter was issued for these displays, and the complete title lists in each year's annual report are rarely specific. Part III, below, includes only selected Print Room exhibitions.
