The Center for American Art was established in 2002 to encourage and facilitate the study of the nation’s artistic heritage from its beginnings to the present day at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In partnership with universities, museums, and libraries in the greater Philadelphia area, the Center for American Art has initiated a series of public programs, fellowships, publications, and focus exhibitions intended to enhance the national discourse on American art with special emphasis on the Philadelphia region. As the Philadelphia Museum of Art advances toward the completion of its new American galleries during the coming years, the Center for American Art will play a leading role in interpreting the Museum’s permanent collection for the new installation.
