The Pennsylvania Academy
on the Road



The Office of Admissions of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts understands that not all prospective students can meet with us in person here in Philadelphia. To meet the needs of as many potential students as possible, we travel around the country each year to attend National Portfolio Days and NACAC Performing and Visual Arts fairs.  

Although our travel season has ended for this academic year, the schedule below lists our events this past year for your information.  Please feel free to visit this page in August 2008 for an updated edition of our schedule for 2008-2009.  We hope to see you soon!
