Creative Momentum Campaign
Pratt has come a long way in the last decade! Together, deft hands and gifted minds forged a masterpiece in the making, a dynamic organization that may never be finished growing, but is securely positioned for its next big leap.

Building on its success, Pratt looks ahead to the next ten years with great confidence and high expectations. With the pandemic nearly in the rear view, thirst for creative community and the joys of artmaking are at an all-time high. The Creative Momentum Campaign will build capacity to meet this growing need, while also preparing Pratt for the promise of dynamic new leadership,
refreshed vision, and deeper, long-term impact.
