In partnership with Fleisher Art Memorial we are proud to present The Wind Challenge Archive, an online resource of the 500+ artists who have participated in the annual juried exhibitions.⁠ For the first time, explore all of the past Wind Challenge artists from 1978 to present through never before seen photos and ephemera. 

Progress on the archive is ongoing but our goal, through it’s completion, is to build and activate a diverse community of working artists. If you have participated in the Wind Challenge, please email us to make updates to your profile and be included in future programming ~⁠

About the Wind Challenge: ⁠

Established in 1978 as The Challenge and renamed Wind Challenge after Dina and Jerry Wind began to support it in the 1990’s, Fleisher’s annual juried competition is committed to featuring the work of exceptional artists living in the Philadelphia region. Since its inception, the series has supported the professional journeys of hundreds of emerging artists, many of whom have gone on to have significant careers. Over the years the annual exhibitions have been seen by thousands of visitors, students, art-world professionals and other new audiences.⁠⁠
