The mission of Pratt Institute is to educate artists and creative professionals to be responsible contributors to society.
Pratt seeks to instill in all graduates aesthetic judgment, professional knowledge, collaborative skills, and technical expertise.
With a firm grounding in the liberal arts and sciences, a Pratt education blends theory with creative application in preparing graduates to become leaders in their professions.
Pratt enrolls a diverse group of highly talented and dedicated students, challenging them to achieve their full potential.

NYFA awarded 136 fellowships to 144 New York artists representing eight artistic disciplines that cover the visual, performing, and literary arts. The fellows were selected from over 4,500 applicants by peer panels assembled according to each artistic discipline.
