School of Art at The Village West

Part of the Exhibition:
Pratt Institute x The Village West: Windows on 14th Street

Rooted in a shared commitment to creativity, civic engagement, and the power of public space, the “Pratt Institute x TheVillage West: Windows on 14th Street” installation brings student work beyond the classroom and gallery walls and into the everyday rhythm of one of New York City’s busiest pedestrian corridors, connecting neighborhoods from Union Square to the Meatpacking District through the power of a creative education, art, design, and culture.

The School of Art is home to eight distinct departments and boundless opportunity for growth. During their time here, students develop their perspective and hone their practice alongside classmates from around the world—all within the cultural capital that is New York. As they learn and grow together, they’ll prepare to navigate the rapidly evolving challenges we face as creative professionals at both the local and global level, and become a part of shaping the future.
