History

BWA was founded by Allan L. Edmunds in 1972 as the Brandywine Graphic Workshop.[1] Originally located in the predominantly Black and Hispanic area of North Philadelphia, the workshop registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt cultural institution in 1974.[2][3]

The workshop moved to 1520 Kater Street in South Philadelphia then to 730 South Broad Street.[2]

The BWA provided educational programs as well as residencies for artists from around the United States.[4] Prints from the BWA are in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art,[4] the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts,[5] and the Harvard Art Museums.[1]

In 2012 the Philadelphia Museum of Art exhibited the retrospective Full Spectrum: Prints from the Brandywine Workshop.[4] In 2022 the Harvard Art Museums exhibited the retrospective Prints from the Brandywine Workshop and Archives: Creative Communities.[6]
