PAFA’s holiday pop-up offers a rare chance to buy prints without gallery prices

Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) is getting into the holiday spirit with its annual Brodsky Center Holiday Pop-Up Print Sale. This year, the sale will be held in the lobby of PAFA's iconic Hamilton Building on December 13th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For one day only, art enthusiasts can browse and purchase limited-edition prints at a fraction of their original gallery prices – all for under $200.

This collaborative effort often highlights works by artists from marginalized communities.

Art lovers can look forward to a diverse range of prints by American and international artists. Whether you're looking to start a small collection or give a thoughtful gift, this sale offers an excellent opportunity to do so. With such a wide variety of artistic styles and subjects on display, the Brodsky Center Holiday Pop-Up Print Sale is sure to be a highlight of the holiday season.

💡 just learned about PAFA's Holiday Pop-Up Print Sale 🎨🎁 think it's dope that they're making art more accessible & affordable for everyone 💕 especially the prints by artists from marginalized communities 👍
 
I'm kinda skeptical about these pop-up print sales 🤔. Everyone's always talking about 'discovering' new art and buying limited-edition prints as a status symbol. But what's the real value here? Is it just a bunch of overpriced prints that'll collect dust on some shelf?

And don't get me wrong, I love supporting artists, but is this sale really doing them any favors? It's a one-day event, and all the money's going to the gallery, not directly to the artist. I'd rather see more permanent exhibitions or residency programs that actually support artists' livelihoods.

Plus, isn't this just another example of gentrification in Philly? PAFA's already got a reputation for being fancy-schmancy; adding a 'trendy pop-up sale' just feels like another way to make money off art. Let's see if they're really doing anything meaningful for the community 🤑.
 
🎨 the whole idea of having this pop-up sale is like, super cool! i love how they're making art more accessible and affordable for people who might not normally be able to afford it. and it's awesome that they're showcasing artists from marginalized communities - it's a great way to give them a platform 🌎💖. personally, i'm all about supporting local artists and small businesses during the holiday season 🎁👍. it's like, the more we shop at places like this, the more we're helping to create a more sustainable and inclusive art scene 💚
 
omg, i'm so down for this!!! 🤩 i've been lookin @ art sales and this one looks fire 🔥! gettin limited edition prints at half the price is like, the best thing eva! 👍 plus it's supportin marginalized artists which is amazing. i need to check out these prints ASAP, might just cop a few for my fave people 🎁. PAFA's Hamilton Building is, like, on my to-visit list now 📍 can't wait to see what kinds of art they got on display! 💕
 
🎄 I'm thoroughly enthused about the upcoming Brodsky Center Holiday Pop-Up Print Sale at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts! It's an exemplary way for art enthusiasts to engage with unique, museum-quality prints at significantly reduced prices – who wouldn't want to snag a limited-edition masterpiece for under $200? 😊 The fact that this sale showcases works by artists from diverse communities is particularly noteworthy, as it highlights the importance of promoting accessibility and inclusivity in the art world. 💡 Furthermore, with over 20 artists participating, there's sure to be something to suit every taste and aesthetic preference. I'm particularly intrigued to see what innovative prints the Brodsky Center has curated for this event! 🎨
 
Ugh, I don't trust that they're giving away super cheap prints 🤑. It sounds too good to be true. What's the catch? Are they just gonna make a ton of money off us eventually? And what's with the "museum-quality editions" claim? Sounds like marketing fluff to me 🤔. I mean, it's not like we're getting any real art here, just some overpriced prints at a fraction of the cost... yeah, right. I'll believe it when I see it 🤑.
 
Ugh, another art sale 🙄... I mean, who needs limited-edition prints of masterpieces when you can buy a decent iPhone case for half the price? And $200 is way too much for some overpriced print that's probably just going to end up on Instagram and then get lost in cyberspace 📱. Plus, what's with the Brodsky Center's residency program? Isn't it kinda exclusive if you're only bringing together artists from "marginalized communities"? Shouldn't they be promoting more diversity among artists? And have you seen the crowds that'll be there on Dec 13th? Total tourist trap 🏙️.
 
OMG 🤩 can't believe they're having a print sale this year! I need those limited-edition prints ASAP 💸 I've been eyeing some of the artists on the list and I'm low-key hoping to cop some of those collabs for my own art collection 🎨. And it's so cool that they're showcasing works by marginalized communities – more representation is always welcome in the art world 🌈. Plus, who doesn't love a good bargain? 😂 I'm def hitting up this sale and scoring some amazing pieces to give as gifts or add to my own stash. 128 N Broad St, here I come! 📍
 
can't believe they're not offering any digital prints for people who can't make it to philly 🤦‍♀️... like what about us? just kidding, kinda. seriously though, i love that they're highlighting works by artists from marginalized communities, it's so important we get more representation in the art world. and only $200?!?! i need to get my hands on some of those prints ASAP 💸
 
OMG 🤩 I'm literally so down for this! A print sale with artist collabs? Sounds like the ultimate holiday gift fest 💸🎁 I mean, who wouldn't wanna snag some exclusive art fave for under $200? 💯 It's also dope to see marginalized artists gettin' their art out there, you feel? 🤝 Plus, PAFA's iconic Hamilton Building is just iconic in itself – gotta check it out! 👀 The fact that they're doin' this pop-up sale in the lobby too makes me wanna jump on the train (of festivities) ASAP 🚂🎉
