Summer in the City, the current Pratt × Blick exhibition at Blick Art Materials on Myrtle Avenue, features work by Associate Degrees students responding to New York City and what summer in the city means to them. The show grew out of the ongoing partnership that Visiting Associate Professor of Associate Degrees John De Santis developed with Blick to give students in his classes another place to show their work and to connect class projects with a real-world exhibition. De Santis works with Blick on each show, from the initial idea through production and installation. Each show has its own website where all of the student work can be seen and visitors can vote for their favorite. This fall, De Santis and Blick will continue the partnership with From Brooklyn: Walt Whitman, the third exhibition in the series.
