Would this exhibit be worth $30 dollars to show a friend? If so, what justifies the price of admission and if not, what would make it worth that?


I thought PAFA show was put together well and lot of works were exhibited combining the 1st and 2nd floor. But was it worth paying 15 dollars per person to go see the work? As much I like the exhibition I do think it's over priced.

I consider myself as a reasonable person. I support the "arts" and when it comes to paying for admission at a show I think about who is the money for and where does the money actually go? In this case at PAFA, I am not that comfortable paying 15 dollars to enter the show.

First off, I thought it was strange that the other Graphic Unconscious Shows didn't ask for admissions and PAFA is the only one so far. Than where is the money going?
I'm not that familiar with PAFA as an Institution but from what saw from the tags on the work and of course the show, it seems like PAFA is a very conservative institute. Like what Leslie said the show was traditional comparing to the other shows and the way that they labeled the artist's work, we can tell that PAFA likes to keep it within their own family.
How do I feel about this as an outsider to the Institution and am I willing to pay and support this? Personally, after seeing the museum next door and looking around the school I have doubts about how the admissions are used.

Also, the propose for Philagrafika was to give people opportunities to rethink about the propose of printmaking. Even though, PAFA had the most traditional approach to printmaking, the works were still showing and pushing the limits of a what printmaking can be. No longer confined to drawers, no longer an absolute isolated technical specialty. Being a part of Philagrafika, PAFA should have lowered the admissions to less than 5 dollars or donation based admission(pay what you want). It's a very sensitive matter when it comes to money and attracting people to come see a show. Considering the propose of the Philadgrfika show, PAFA is defiantly having their own stand on being the "Golden Getto".

So than is the show really worth 15 dollars? As much as I enjoyed the show I don't think it was worth 15 dollars. MOMA general admission is 20dollars (students-$16) and it is still a lot to ask from a museum. However, MOMA has a lot more to offer to the audiences than PAFA. Meaning that there are more artwork and knowledge of creativity that you can get out of (most of the time). Also, the money might go for advertisement to invite people to be a part of the art world. What I'm trying to say is that MOMA has more propose where the money goes.

How would the 15 dollars would make it worth it? Giving more opportunities to the people that has no connection to the institution. Personal connection, touch, and opportunity to the "others".An artist's talk and have a printmaker come and explain the process to the visitors.
