Family Art Day: “Firstival” — Celebrating 220 Years of American Art at PAFA
Celebrate PAFA’s 220th birthday with a special Family Art Day: Firstival, presented as part of Philadelphia’s citywide 52 Weeks of Firsts celebration. This free, all-ages event invites families to make art together, explore the Museum, and take part in hands-on creative activities that honor 220 years of American art, creativity, and innovation.
The day also features PAFA’s #1 Sculpture by alum Jon Laidacker, part of a citywide series of public artworks celebrating Philadelphia’s legacy of “firsts” in advance of America’s 250th anniversary.
Bring the whole family for a fun and creative morning at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA). Enjoy our monthly make-and-take art activity, explore the Museum, try out new materials, and take home your own artwork.
