Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

PAFA's Annual Student Exhibition (ASE) features works by third and fourth-year Undergraduate students, second-year students in the Graduate program, and students of the Post-Baccalaureate program.  

The Annual Student Exhibition is a long-standing PAFA tradition allowing students the opportunity to curate, install, and sell their own works in the galleries of our museum.  In addition to serving as an exhibition and art sale, the ASE includes a competition for the coveted Cresson, Schiedt, Von Hess, Ware, and Women’s Committee travel scholarships.  This exhibition has been a PAFA tradition for over a century and is the culminating event in the academic calendar.
