Members of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts’ Women’s Committee gathered at the Haverford home of Pia Halloran on April 3, 2024 to sign invitations for PAFA’s Annual Student Exhibition Preview Party, which will take place on Thursday, May 9. Fundraising income from Preview Party tickets and sponsorships underwrites scholarship support for PAFA’s students, and the event offers guests first access to purchasing student artworks for sale. This year, 100% of all proceeds from Annual Student Exhibition art sales are retained directly by PAFA’s talented student artists, who are part of a storied legacy of artmaking at the Academy. Tickets and sponsorships can be purchased at www.pafa.org/ase-preview-party
