🧵 Common Thread is officially open at PCA&D - Pennsylvania College of Art & Design!

Our Alumni Exhibition is now on display in the CORE & Hayden Galleries, featuring work from PCA&D alumni across different graduating years, disciplines and creative paths.

👀 Here's a sneak peek at just a few of the pieces you’ll find in the exhibition:

📌 Hailey Bortz ’23 - Distelfink
📌 Kyle Newkirk ’15 - Uncapped
📌 Kennedy Toomey ’22 - Red Mesquite

Common Thread will be on display through Sunday, Nov. 8, so there’s plenty of time to stop by and see the full exhibition in person.

We’ll also be hosting a First Friday reception on Friday, Nov. 6 from 6–8 PM, and we’re currently working on putting together an artist panel discussion for that evening as well. More details on that soon!

And if you haven’t already, now is a great time to RSVP for Alumni Homecoming, happening as part of PCA&D’s Peacock Weekend. 🦚 We’d love to see as many alumni there as possible — whether you graduated recently or haven’t been back in years.
