Inclement Weather Policies and Procedures

The closure, delayed opening, or early dismissal of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts will be determined by the Dean of the School and the Museum Director, with the approval of the President. 

Any closing or delay would include the school, galleries, and administrative offices. Decisions regarding the cancellation of special events and evening classes may be made later.
