Featured Activity
Make a "Fox Hunt Theater Book"
A theater book is like a diorama or pop-up book page. On Sunday, November 8th, families can make a theater book together depicting one of PAFA's most famous paintings, The Fox Hunt by Winslow Homer. This painting is part of the exhibit, A Nation of Artists theme, Horizons: Landscapes and Spaces Between.
Horizons: Landscapes and Spaces Between
From the sublime to the surreal, artists have long turned to the land for inspiration. Examine how nature—real and imagined—has been a place of personal, spiritual, and environmental meaning throughout American art.
We're so excited you're planning to visit PAFA!
