Each year, the program regularly hosts an exhibition on the Brooklyn campus. The exhibition showcases the work of the summer’s Pratt in Venice participants, featuring all media including painting, printmaking, and three-dimensional objects, as well as advanced research projects done by Pratt in Venice students enrolled in the Materials & Techniques course. Special exhibitions, both in Brooklyn and in Venice, also occur.

Current students donate artworks in the exhibition to be part of a silent auction; visitors to the gallery can purchase original works of art by Pratt in Venice students and support the program. All proceeds from the silent auction directly fund Pratt in Venice scholarships for the following year.

In addition to those below, more photos of past openings and exhibitions are posted on Facebook and Instagram, so be sure to check them out!

PRATT IN VENICE 2022 EXHIBITION

Pratt in Venice 35th Anniversary
Exhibition and Celebration

October 21 – November 1, 2019

We were delighted to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Pratt in Venice with the opening of the 35th Anniversary Exhibition on Monday, October 21, 2019.

Pratt Institute President Frances Bronet welcomed a packed house of alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of the program to celebrate 35 successful years of bringing the practice of art and its study together in La Serenissima. In addition to visual work and research from 2019 Pratt in Venice participants, this year's exhibition featured work by Pratt in Venice alumni since 1984. The exhibition featured over one-hundred works of art in all media – painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, fashion, photography, film, and animation – as well as a documentary film, Infinite Jest by Wenlu Bao, documenting the pendant celebratory exhibition held in Venice in Summer 2019. A Study Center at the heart of the suite of galleries included the many books, articles, theses, and research posters produced as a result of participation in Pratt in Venice. Multiple photographs and testimonials by students, faculty, and friends, taken since the program’s beginning 35 years ago, were exhibited – both in print and via a Kodak slide carousel. The exhibition also honored current and former faculty, including exhibited work by Chris Wright, Greg Drasler, Mario Naves, Joe Stauber, and Grayson Cox, as well as the late Richards Ruben, Clare Romano, and John Ross.

Further photos from the exhibition and details can be found here.

Pratt in Venice inaugurated its celebrations in honor of the 35th year of the program with the exhibition, Infinite Jest.

Unveiling the work of Pratt in Venice alumnae Monique Rollins, Hyewon Hahn, and painting faculty Michael Brennan, the exhibition was a whirlwind of celebration and excitement for the Pratt in Venice program. Pratt in Venice additionally organized a panel for Art Night 2019 – the annual “White Night” festival held in Venice, in which over one-hundred cultural institutions, museums, and galleries open with special exhibitions, performances, and cultural activities.
