​​​​​​​Join us for a very special edition of Pratt's annual Open House, happening alongside the Jackson Street Jazz Festival, for an evening filled with art, music, making, and community. Whether you've been part of Pratt for decades or you're visiting for the very first time, this is the perfect chance to experience everything that makes Pratt such a unique place.

Spend the evening listening to live jazz on two outdoor stages, create your own art, catch live art making demonstrations, experience an exciting live bronze pour, and check out larger-than-life prints created with a steamroller! Explore vibrant activations throughout Pratt Park, shop work by local artists and makers, grab a bite from your favorite food truck, and raise a glass in the wine and beer garden as we celebrate 50 years of creative community together.

Free and open to all ages. No RSVP required!

Event Highlights:

  • Live bronze pour, steamroller printmaking, and art demos across Pratt's campus + Pratt Park
