F.A.N. Gallery in Philadelphia is celebrating its 35th anniversary with a ‘Summer Group Show’ opening on August 7, 2026, and remaining on view through August 28. The gallery is located at 221 Arch Street, and the exhibition will be accompanied by an artist reception on Friday, August 7, from 5 to 8 PM. Regular gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 12 to 5 PM.
The announcement was issued through the gallery’s mailing list and gives only the core details of the anniversary presentation, identifying it as a group exhibition rather than a solo show or themed survey with an expanded checklist. No individual participating artists are named in the source material, and no additional curatorial statement is provided. The notice also does not specify works, media, or a longer interpretive framework beyond the anniversary framing.
Still, the timing places the exhibition within a notable milestone for the gallery, which is marking 35 years in operation. That anniversary context is explicit in the announcement and serves as the organizing frame for the summer presentation. The show is scheduled for a late-summer run, giving visitors nearly three weeks to see it after the opening reception.
F.A.N. Gallery’s notice includes its full Philadelphia address and contact information, underscoring the gallery’s local presence in Old City. The mailing does not present the exhibition as part of a broader festival or citywide program, and it does not name any collaborating institutions or satellite venues. Based on the available material, the event is centered entirely at the gallery itself.
The exhibition schedule is straightforward: the run begins on August 7 and continues through August 28, 2026. Visitors can attend the reception on opening day, Friday, August 7, between 5 and 8 PM, or view the exhibition during the gallery’s Wednesday-through-Sunday public hours. The source material does not indicate whether the group show will change over the course of its installation.
