The Graduate Student Association is pleased to announce the inaugural FOURTH WALL PANEL REVIEW.

This is an unprecedented opportunity to gain better understanding of the selection processes for grants, residencies, and teaching positions that usually occur behind closed doors.

Please join us to witness a distinguished critic, artist, and curator publicly review and discuss digital images and written statements submitted anonymously by MFA thesis students from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art's Graduate Program.

The process will conclude with the selection of three artists the panel determines are most competitive for professional exhibition, residency, and opportunities.
