Demuth Museum hosts Dec. 6 opening of As It Is,
work by PCA&D Fine Art Seniors 

As It Is, a group exhibition featuring Pennsylvania College of Art & Design’s Class of 2025 Fine Art majors, opens Friday, Dec. 6, 5-8 pm, at The Demuth Museum’s Program Center, 116 E. King St. The show will also be open to the public Saturday, Dec. 7, from 10 am to 4 pm, and Sunday, Dec. 8, from noon to 4 pm. 

Work featured has been created during the first semester of their senior year. It consists of beginning explorations of their senior studio and thesis work, which they'll continue to develop next semester in advance of the 2025 Senior Show in early May.  

"It is a pleasure to showcase PCA&D seniors' work once again at our museum!” says Abby Baer, Executive Director of the Demuth Foundation. “We're always eager to see what the students are creating as they work through their thesis process and we're really happy to support their art through this show.”

Artists whose work appears in As It Is include Sydney Beard, Charlie Boyce, Krista Canoles, Elizabeth Gregory, Katherine Hess, Mickey Hess, Adanya Johnson, Quinn Knepper, and Lexy Sills-Schueler.
