On Feb. 3, The New York Times reviewed "Downtown 2021" in its "Art Galleries to Shows to See Right Now."

"Downtown 2021", a group exhibition including works by Polly Apfelbaum, was featured in the New Yorker's "Goings on about Town" on Feb. 1.

Apfelbaum collaborated with Philadelphia-based artist Michelle Tremblay to create a mural inspired by Tremblay’s time in the oncology ward at Jefferson Hospital.

Apfelbaum's "There are Many Hearts" (2020) is currently on view as part of the exhibition "Taking Space: Contemporary Women Artists and the Politics of Scale" at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

The College Art Association will feature Polly Apfelbaum as part of their Annual Artist's Interviews starting on February 5, 2021. They will host a live online Q&A on Friday, February 12 at 5:30pm EST.
