That’s how long the Fleisher Art Memorial has been holding its annual adult student exhibition. At the time of the first show, the US was at war with Spain. The average yearly salary was around $450.00. There was no income tax. Pennsylvania Hospital offered a horse-drawn ambulance service. City Hall and the Broad Street Subway were off in the future and the Fleisher Art Memorial opened and started offering art classes to the people of Philadelphia. The Annual Exhibition closes on March 24. It’s worth a visit.
