PNCA is saddened to announce that former PNCA Director Al Hammer has passed.
Hammer was briefly PNCA Director from July 1981 - May 1982. He abruptly decided to leave in October 1981 (just three months after he arrived), and returned to New England to become Director of the Hartford School of Art at the University of Hartford.
