50th Anniversary
The Center celebrates its Semicentennial in 2012 with a number of unique exhibitions. Those planned include a national exhibit, "Art and the Animal," from January through March, and a celebration of regional artists who have either taught or displayed work in other exhibitions at Pfac called "The Artists: Who We Are Past and Present," from April through July. This is a photography exhibit that illustrates the history of the Center and Virginia Peninsula with a juried photo exhibition that represents the Peninsula today. From July through October, Pfac’s nationally recognized "Biennial" exhibition will be on display for all to enjoy.
The final and most significant exhibition, for both the Center and the region, will be 50 Great American Artists, from October through January. This exhibition is a new and unprecedented collection of artists organized by Pfac curator Michael Preble. It brings together the exceptional works of America’s greatest artists in a way never before attempted.

Famous quotes containing the word anniversary:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
