      Join us for a journey across time, medium and identity with Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, the George Putnam Curator of American Art. Richmond-Moll served as PEM's coordinating curator for Making History: 200 Years of American Art from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, which features 85 paintings and sculptures by both well-known and undersung artists in PAFA's formidable collection. Discover how making art is a process that can help us make sense of our history and learn how various artists have played a key role in sharing and reframing America's past, present and future.
