Exhibitions - Fleisher Art Memorial

Wind Challenge

Established in 1978, the Wind Challenge Exhibition Series is an annual juried competition that is committed to enriching and expanding people's lives through art. Three Wind Challenge Exhibitions throughout the year feature the work of exceptional artists living in the Philadelphia region.

Annual Student Exhibition

For 120 years, the Annual Adult Student Exhibition has celebrated the vibrant artwork created by Fleisher’s students. The exhibition provides students with the opportunity to show their work in a public gallery, a milestone in any artist’s career.

Annual Faculty Exhibition

You’ve seen and worked with them in Fleisher’s studios, now see their work firsthand in the Faculty Exhibition. Fleisher’s faculty members are among the Philadelphia region’s most talented artists, and the exhibition showcases work from their studio practice in sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, painting, drawing, and photography.

Young Artists Exhibition

The Annual Young Artists Exhibition features work from the 500 students enrolled in the Fleisher's Saturday Young Artists Program, Teen Lounge, and Community Partners in the Arts residencies. The exhibition includes work in all mediums created by our young artists as well as paintings created by their parents. Prizes and awards are announced during the exhibition’s closing.

Dear Fleisher

Dear Fleisher, is our biennial fundraising exhibition and sale of artwork, showcasing the work of hundreds of artists from Philadelphia and beyond. Artists submit original postcard-sized works in a wide range of media and styles, each of which is exhibited anonymously until sold at an affordable price of $50. All proceeds benefit Fleisher's mission of providing access to art for all through classes, exhibits, and community programs.

Faculty Fellowship Exhibitions

Faculty Fellowship Exhibitions highlight the work of faculty members selected to receive one of two fellowships: the Fred and Naomi Hazell Art Award for painters working with oils and the Louchheim Fellowship, named for former Fleisher chairperson Dene Louchheim. Awarded biennially, the selected artists receive a cash prize and a solo exhibition in Fleisher’s Center for Works on Paper building.

Ella King Torrey Young Artist Prize

The Ella King Torrey Young Artist Prize was created by Ella King’s mother, Ella Russell Torrey, in 2008 and celebrates Ella’s joy, excitement and commitment to artists by encouraging exceptional teenage Fleisher students.
