    Join PAFA staff and students for this series of talks on American art and culture every Wednesday at noon. Enjoy discussions and lectures with scholars and artists covering a variety of topics related to PAFA's exhibitions, collections and areas of interest. Visitors are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch, though limited options will be available for sale outside the Auditorium doors. Holly Trostle Brigham, a PAFA alum, is known for exploring gender and sexuality through self-representation, evolving self-portraits into mythological allegories and historical figures. In conjunction with themes presented in PAFA’s fall exhibition Narcissus in the Studio, Brigham discusses her series “Seven Sisters”, self-portrait homages to important female artists like Frida Kahlo and Judith Leyster, and introduces her next series, “Seven Sisters II”.
