Alumni Studio Program

The Alumni Studio Program provides low-cost studio rentals to alumni, enabling alumni to stay connected with the PAFA community and foster the next productive period in their studio practice as visual artists.

Program participants pay $250 per month and provide a refundable $250 security deposit, for a total of $500 due at signing. Participants will have a studio in the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building, with secure access during designated building hours (there will be some restrictions during holidays and inclement weather) and a climate-controlled environment.
