The Brandywine Workshop / Center for the Visual Arts

| Brandywine Workshop’s “Firehouse” Building with Visual Technologies Center in the Background. |
The Brandywine Workshop, a non-profit visual arts organization, was founded in 1972. The Workshop offers various programs in fine art printmaking, exhibitions, lectures, education and research. Its primary mission is to continue to be a major force in the creation, development and promotion of printmaking as a fine art. Further, the Workshop is dedicated to creating opportunities for culturally diverse ethnic groups to participate in the fine visual arts and related art technologies.
Located in a renovated historic firehouse (circa 1861) on the Avenue of the Arts at Broad and Fitzwater Streets, the Brandywine Workshop features two floors of gallery space with a continuous exhibition schedule showing prints and contemporary works on paper. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment. A gallery gift shop features a large collection of limited edition prints created by over 300 visiting artists over the past 30+ years.
The Brandywine Workshop also has an adjacent Visual Technologies Center housing its extensive print archive plus a dedicated creative workshop with two fine art presses. The visiting artist fellowship program and the printmaking workshop serve as a laboratory for investigation and experimentation by serious artists of all ages from all backgrounds.
