Pratt in Venice

“My experiences this summer can only be described as life-changing, with the Pratt in Venice program surpassing my wildest expectations and having a transformative impact on my art and studies and myself as a person.“

Another amazing Pratt in Venice exhibition! Thank you to all the students and faculty who helped put it together, and for the generous support of those who donated to this year’s Silent Auction.

The 2023 program was our 39th year of Pratt in Venice.

Dimitri Hazzikostas, professor and scholar of ancient and Byzantine art and long-time Pratt in Venice faculty member, died on May 12, 2023.

“Pratt in Venice was an experience like no other. Through the act of visiting and seeing these works in person, we were able to foster a deeper understanding of creators and artists of that time.”

Pratt in Venice’s annual exhibition, which opened Monday, October 24 in Steuben Gallery and featured over 400 works from the 2022 cohort, was a success!

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.

Pratt in Venice is pleased to present the 2022 annual exhibition, featuring work and research by this year’s participants. Opening reception: Monday, October 24, 5–7 PM

“The program turned out to be quite an experience. I learned a lot about Venetian art and culture, about Pratt and the students there as well as a lot about myself.”

“Pratt in Venice gave me the opportunity of a lifetime to live like a Venetian, and Venice has become my home away from home.”

Pratt in Venice wishes TANTI AUGURI and all good wishes to graduates who are Pratt in Venice alums!

Pratt in Venice art historians — alumni and faculty alike — have participated in conferences and seminars near and far, presenting original research!
