Like a snapshot it captures a moment in time, one that tells a compelling story that is rich in detail and resonates with meaning about the subject it represents. With this analogy in mind, we hope that as you read this account of our operations during fiscal year 2012 you will not only appreciate all that has been accomplished at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but also see how this work has served to fulfill the mission of this institution through the continued development and care of our collection, the presentation of a broad range of exhibitions and programs, and the strengthening of our relationship to the com- munity through education and outreach. In this regard, continuity is vitally important. In other words, what the Museum was founded to do in 1876 is as essential today as it was then. Fostering the understanding and appreciation of the work of great artists and nurturing the spirit of creativity in all of us are enduring values without which we, individually and collectively, would be greatly diminished. If continuity—the responsibility for sustaining the things that we value most—is impor- tant, then so, too, is a commitment to change. -

It is our hope that Feminist Periodicalswill serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a joumal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan.

Nordic Changes: Works by Diane Burko on View at the American Swedish Historical Museum September 29Th, 2019 Thru Janu
--FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Nordic Changes: Works by Diane Burko On view at the American Swedish Historical Museum th th September 29 , 2019 thru January 5 , 2020 Philadelphia, PA: ASHM is delighted to present Nordic Changes, an exhibition of paintings and photographs by the internationally-renowned artist, Diane Burko and guest opening event on Sunday, September 29th curated by Dr. Kirsten Jensen. The will feature gallery talks by Ms. Burko and Dr. Jensen, as well as a panel discussion with the artist, along with local experts including Christine Knapp, Director of Sustainability for the City of Philadelphia, Erik Johanson Director of Innovation for Septa, and Billy Fleming, former Wilks Family Director McHarg Center and former White House Domestic Policy Councilor for Urban Policy Development, to discuss the impacts of climate change in the Philadelphia area. Special guest Ambassador Bergdís Ellertsdóttir of Iceland will also be in attendance. The Philadelphia- and Bucks County-based artist is a world traveler, and this exhibition highlights a body of work she produced following expeditions made over the past two decades to the Nordic Arctic in Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard. Since her first visit to Iceland in 2002, Burko has focused her attention on environmental issues, blending science with beauty to create art that is a vessel for eco-activism. Burko’s pieces in the exhibition are visual investigations, revealing the dramatic ways in which the Arctic is being transformed due to the effects of climate change. Nordic Changes offers visitors a capsule survey of Burko’s many expeditions to the Arctic, beginning with her Icelandic landscapes. -
ARTISTS MAKE US WHO WE ARE the ANNUAL REPORT of the PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY of the FINE ARTS Fiscal Year 2012-13 1 PRESIDENT’S LETTER
ARTISTS MAKE US WHO WE ARE THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 1 PRESIDENT’S LETTER PAFA’s new tagline boldly declares, “We Make Artists.” This is an intentionally provocative statement. One might readily retort, “Aren’t artists born to their calling?” Or, “Don’t artists become artists through a combination of hard work and innate talent?” Well, of course they do. At the same time, PAFA is distinctive among the many art schools across the United States in that we focus on training fine artists, rather than designers. Most art schools today focus on this latter, more apparently utilitarian career training. PAFA still believes passionately in the value of art for art’s sake, art for beauty, art for political expression, art for the betterment of humanity, art as a defin- ing voice in American and world civilization. The students we attract from around the globe benefit from this passion, focus, and expertise, and our Annual Student Exhibition celebrates and affirms their determination to be artists. PAFA is a Museum as well as a School of Fine Arts. So, you may ask, how does the Museum participate in “making artists?” Through its thoughtful selection of artists for exhibition and acquisition, PAFA’s Museum helps to interpret, evaluate, and elevate artists for more attention and acclaim. Reputation is an important part of an artist’s place in the ecosystem of the art world, and PAFA helps to reinforce and build the careers of artists, emerging and established, through its activities. PAFA’s Museum and School also cultivate the creativity of young artists. -

The Art Collection Of
The Art Collection of Dear Colleagues, Over the past several years the Wharton School, with input from our faculty, students and staff have expanded the school's art collection. Many of the pieces, in support of Philadelphia and its arts culture, were purchased from local galleries and depict local scenes. As the collection evolved, several works by University of Pennsylvania Alumni were included and its scope broadened to include mixed media works as well as international artists. This catalogue is intended to serve as a summary of the works collected to date. We hope you find inspiration and enjoyment in the collection.
