Open Studio Night

You're invited to go behind the scenes and explore the creative process of the next generation of emerging artists!

One of the most anticipated events on PAFA’s calendar, Open Studio Night is the one time each year when PAFA students open their studios to the public to show and discuss their works in progress.

The event takes place on upper floors of the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building at 128 N. Broad Street—comprising of individual studios where PAFA students develop and refine their paintings, sculpture, prints, animations, and drawings. Open Studio Night gives visitors a rare look into the creative process of a new generation of emerging artists, and a sense of how they develop their ideas. It also provides a sneak peek of works that may appear in the Annual Student Exhibition (ASE) opening in May, where works by PAFA students are exhibited in the museum galleries.
