Celebrate 60 Years of Pratt Center: Exhibition and Opening Reception
September 25, 2025 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Pratt Institute Brooklyn Library, Third Floor

For six decades, Pratt Center for Community Development has partnered with grassroots organizations across New York City to fight for housing, climate, and economic justice. From hand-drawn maps and typewritten reports to today’s digital storytelling and data-driven tools, our work has always been grounded in the power of community knowledge and design.
This fall, we’re opening the vaults. Join us for the opening reception of our new exhibition, which traces the evolution of Pratt Center’s work through archival materials, campaign visuals, and behind-the-scenes ephmera that show what community planning really looks like—on the ground and across generations.
Enjoy drinks, snacks, music, and interactive activities as we celebrate the legacy of community-driven research, advocacy, and design.
This event can is invitation only.
