Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program is the largest public art program in the United States. Follow the history of the groundbreaking organization with MAP employee Ryan Derfler, who will highlight some of their most significant achievements and illustrate the impact that the mural-making tradition has on social change. Of particular interest to PAFA audiences are two current mural projects, including a collaboration on a Henry Ossawa Tanner mural and a mural project near the Philadelphia airport designed by PAFA alum Jonathan Laidacker.

The Rose Susan Hirschhorn Behrend Lecture Series:
October Art-at-Lunch lectures are supported by the Behrend Family in memory of Rose Susan Hirschhorn Behrend, a former docent at the Academy and great supporter of its education programs. This year, the Behrend series features four different perspectives on the idea of public art.

The Art-at-Lunch series of talks on American art and culture takes place every Wednesday. Bring your lunch and enjoy discussions and lectures with scholars and artists covering a variety of topics related to PAFA’s exhibitions, collections, and areas of interest.
