INTRODUCING PRATT IN BLOOM | OUR 2025 FUNDRAISER & FINE ART AUCTION

As a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, Pratt Fine Arts Center provides access to
the transformative power of artistic expression through an inclusive community,
culture of learning, and specially equipped studios.

We are BLOOMING with gratitude for all the support we received on May 10, 2025. Thanks to you, we raised over $610,000 in support of Pratt Fine Arts Center! Our success is thanks to you — our extraordinary community of artists and supporters.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible auction co-chairs, José Carlos Diaz and Jamilee Lacy, our dedicated auction committee, volunteers, Pratt staff and Board of Trustees, our jurors, and all the generous donating artists.

Special thanks to Eugenie Jones and n8vboy, whose performances made the After Party unforgettable, and to Madres Kitchen for the delicious sweet and savory treats!

THANK YOU for helping Pratt continue to flourish and for making our mission—providing access to the transformative power of artistic expression—a reality.
