Reception: Saturday, March 1, 2-5pm 


Cerulean Arts is pleased to present REUNION (Once Upon a Time in Philadelphia), guest-curated by Michael Gallagher. This exhibition highlights the work of 11 artists who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts during the early - to - mid 1980’s. While all of the artists have pursued differing career paths post-graduation, all have maintained a studio practice that continues to the present. Reuniting these artists illuminates the importance of PAFA (founded 1805) as an important art school dedicated to training a diverse range of artistic practices.
