PTPAIR: Mia Fabrizio
About PTPAIR
The Park Towne Place Artist in Residence (PTPAIR) program provides an opportunity for visual artists to bring their studio practice to Philadelphia’s museum district. Over the four-month residency, selected artists will be able to create, advance, or complete work in close proximity to one of Philadelphia's art hubs. The PTPAIR program offers artists the space and freedom to experiment with their practice in a new environment. Artists are encouraged to explore new ideas and find inspiration from a change in scenery. As they create, PTPAIRs are encouraged to engage with the Park Towne Place community. This is a chance for dialogue and education as well as a competitive opportunity for artists to meet potential new connections and collectors.
Exhibition on view: June 1st - September 31st, 2025
About the Artist
Mia Fabrizio was born in Conshohocken, PA. She received her B.F.A. from Tyler School of Art in 2002 and her M.Ed. from Arcadia University in 2006. She taught art in K–12 classrooms for a dozen years before graduating with her M.F.A. from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in 2020. An interdisciplinary artist, Fabrizio explores identity and social constructs through her mixed media paintings, sculptures, and installations.
Fabrizio received Montague Travel Research Grant Awards in 2018 and 2019 and the Museum Council Sculpture Prize in 2020. After her 2021 Post-Graduate Teaching Fellowship at SMFA at Tufts University, she was a resident at The Studios at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA. She served as Sculpture faculty at Maine College of Art & Design in Portland. She now teaches Color Theory and Two- & Three-Dimensional Design at Delaware County Community College in Media, PA.
In the past year, Fabrizio has exhibited solo installations at Abington Art Center (Abington, PA), GoggleWorks (Reading, PA), and Chester County Art Association (West Chester, PA). Currently, she has work on view at The Delaware Contemporary from January 17 through May 26 in their winter–spring exhibition, The Dinner Table. She is a member of InLiquid, and this summer she has been chosen as a 2025 Park Towne Place Artist in Residence. Fabrizio works in her home studio in Downingtown, Pennsylvania.
