Pratt Shows: BFA Painting Thesis Week 5| Opening Reception

April 27, 2026 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Steuben Gallery, 200 Willoughby Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205

Two gallery visitors stand closely together viewing a wooden wall-mounted artwork with visible grain and geometric construction. One person looks attentively at the piece while the other smiles, holding a phone and folded fabric in their arms. Behind them, additional colorful paintings are displayed on white walls, and other visitors move through the exhibition space. The scene captures casual conversation and focused engagement with contemporary artworks in a well-lit gallery.
