Exhibitions: real and virtual!

Take a virtual tour of some of the art traditions that make Philadelphia's communities vital. Our exhibitions are brief introductions to important artists who live in our midst. Originally curated as part of a long-term project, some of these exhibitions toured widely before being retired. Others have been (or are) on display at the new PFP home in West Philadelphia.
