Common Thread

Alumni Exhibition

Common Thread explores the connections that unite generations of Pennsylvania College of Art & Design alumni and celebrates both individuality and community. Though artists leave campus to pursue different careers, creative practices and lives, they remain linked by a shared foundation of curiosity, experimentation, and artistic growth. Every artist carries something forward from their time at PCA&D; a lesson, material, relationship, question, or way of seeing the world. Alumni submitted work that reflects the thread connecting their creative practice today to their artistic journey. Whether literal or symbolic, personal or universal, Common Thread celebrates the experiences, influences, and ideas that continue to shape each artist while honoring the individual paths since graduation.
