Off-Campus Exhibits

Visit exhibits that take place beyond PCA&D

The vision of the Exhibitions program at the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design is to bring the world to PCA&D and PCA&D to the world. Curated exhibits display emerging and established artists within the galleries, while the exhibitions program also creates opportunities for PCA&D artists to exhibit far beyond the campus walls.

  • Moments of Atmosphere

    Moments of Atmosphere is an exhibit centered on landscape as the subject matter. It showcases how a range of contemporary artists from around the region interpret landscape through their personal styles and sensibilities. The results are a varied collection of paintings, drawings, collages, and prints that range from the very representational to highly expressive and all points between. The common thread that unites all the artists is their love for the landscape and how it moves them to create art.

  • Harmony: Evolving

    Harmony: Evolving begins with blank 10” x 10” wooden panels forming a grid on the main gallery wall at PCA&D York. Over time, the space will transform, beginning with a serene emptiness. As participants take panels to complete, they will reveal a portion of an image on the wall. The return of finished pieces will mix with designs and images until finally coming together to form an eclectic array of artworks showcasing the community’s interpretation of “harmony.”
