printPHILLY! 2026
The Brodsky Center at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) will be at printPHILLY! 2026.
Based in Philadelphia, the Brodsky Center at PAFA is a collaborative studio where artists work closely with master printers and papermakers to push the boundaries of printmaking and papermaking. Founded in 1986, the Brodsky Center is dedicated to supporting artists—particularly those from historically marginalized communities—in the creation of new work. To date, the Center has produced nearly 700 complex editions with more than 400 artists, fostering experimentation across printmaking, papermaking, sculpture, painting, and new media.
Artists who have collaborated with the Brodsky Center include Pacita Abad, Elizabeth Catlett, Zoë Charlton, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Melvin Edwards, Sam Gilliam, Mona Hatoum, Barkley L. Hendricks, Byron Kim, William Kentridge, Pepón Osorio, Jaune Quick-To-See Smith, Faith Ringgold, Kiki Smith with Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Pat Steir with Anne Waldman, Mickalene Thomas, Didier William, among many others.
Please note: This event is not hosted by PAFA. It is independently organized by printPhilly! All inquiries should be directed to the event organizers.
