Fundraising Events
Support PAFA’s mission through our annual fundraising events, including the Annual Student Exhibition (ASE) Preview Party, where proceeds benefit students' fine arts training and guests gain exclusive access to works by rising artists. Additionally, join us for the Bacchanal Wine Gala and Auction, a celebration of PAFA’s legacy and a key fundraiser for emerging artists. Your participation helps sustain PAFA’s tradition of excellence in American art.
Annual Student Exhibition Preview Party
For more than a century, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts’ Annual Student Exhibition (ASE) has been the capstone academic achievement for our students. Proceeds from the ASE Preview Party support fine arts training at PAFA and event guests enjoy first access to the sale of our rising artists’ work, along with numerous other benefits. Not only is the Preview Party an opportunity to support rising artists on the cusp of their professional careers, it is also a chance to connect with fellow art lovers and become the first collectors of tomorrow’s art stars.
Bacchanal Wine Gala and Auction
The Bacchanal Wine Gala and Auction is PAFA's signature fundraising event. Support of Bacchanal advances PAFA’s tradition of excellence in American art—from the legacies of Violet Oakley, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and Barkley L. Hendricks to today’s brightest creative talents including Njideka Akunyili Crosby and David Lynch. Since its inception, Bacchanal has raised more than $10 million in support of PAFA’s emerging artists: all thanks to supporters like you.
