Buone Feste e Buon Anno da Pratt in Venice a Tutti! Our team at Pratt in Venice wishes you good holidays, good health, and good news in 2023!
Having been obliged to cancel our program for summer 2020 and summer 2021, Pratt in Venice returned to our fragile and beautiful site in 2022. And both the miraculous site and our wonderful hosts and collaborators were there to welcome and instruct us.
Painting alongside canals, studying masterpieces up close, and exploring printmaking, Pratt in Venice students are expanding their artistic knowledge abroad.
Pratt in Venice’s online public lecture on Paolo Veneziano was a success! On September 29, 2021, art historian John Witty illuminated the S. Chiara Polyptych, a fourteenth-century masterpiece which Pratt in Venice studies every year. Paolo Veneziano’s work is the subject of a current exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, which stemmed from Witty’s research. The event was free and open to the public.
Pratt in Venice, in celebration of 35 years of the Program, will hold a Research Symposium on Friday, November 6, 2020, from noon–5:30 pm EST.

Pratt in Venice has had an exhilarating summer and fall preparing for the 34th annual Pratt in Venice exhibition! Unveiling the latest artwork by our students in Pratt Institute’s East Hall Gallery this past Monday, the opening reception was a whirlwind of celebration and excitement for the Pratt in Venice program. We were very proud to show our 2018 cohort’s fabulous accomplishments. Works on display included paintings, prints, mixed media, textile-based art, 3D modeling, glasswork, posters showcasing student art historical research—and even a hand-forged sword!
The night was a huge success! The opening reception was crowded and bustling with attendees, including Pratt Institute President Frances Bronet, numerous alumni/ae of the Pratt in Venice program, practicing artists, interested students, faculty, administrators, friends, family, and supporters.
The work this year was so strong that the exhibition has been extended to be open an additional week, until Friday, October 27th, so that more people can experience the pieces.
Be sure to swing by Pratt Institute and see the amazing artwork now on view in the East Hall Gallery. While you’re in the gallery, be sure to participate in our silent auction of select student work exclusively to benefit the Pratt in Venice Scholarship Fund!
The 30th annual exhibition opens Monday, November 17th, 2014, and runs all week until November 21st in East Hall’s Second Floor Gallery on Pratt's Brooklyn campus.
