Students become proficient in every aspect of their studio practice through a combination of rigorous critical discussion, broad-based studio and technical electives, collaborative opportunities, and concentrated study in their chosen areas.
The exhibition is part of Pratt Shows 2023. Representing years of research, exploration, critical thinking, creative inquiry, problem-solving, growth, production, practice, and accomplishment, the shows celebrate student work leading up to commencement. Pratt Shows also feature work in architecture, design, information, and liberal arts and sciences.
