CORE Gallery

CORE Gallery—Creators Of Real Experiences—was founded by Student Council in 2020 as the student-managed gallery at the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, created to provide the students of PCA&D opportunities to exhibit their creative work while building exhibition history and gallery management experience.

In 2022 this student led exhibition space is available for exhibition proposals by all student groups, organizations, and individuals. Proposals are evaluated by the Director of Exhibitions based on creativity and timing. If selected, exhibitions are curated, installed, and promoted by the artist(s) who submitted their work with the support of the Exhibitions team.

If you have any questions about the Gallery program, please contact gallery@pcad.edu
