Pratt’s beautifully landscaped 25-acre residential campus is a surprise to most visitors who cannot believe it exists in the middle of Brooklyn. Visitors describe it as a quiet oasis with a traditional college feeling within one of the leading art and design schools in the world. Pratt’s Brooklyn and Manhattan campus visit options are listed below. Program locations are below as well.

Visiting The Brooklyn Campus

Prospective students and their families are invited to visit Pratt’s Brooklyn campus for a tour. Please note: tours are not offered mid-December through mid-January, during Pratt’s Spring Break, and on Federal holidays, as classes are not in session and student tour guides are not on campus. 

Tours book quickly and must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. Reservations are required to maintain a safe environment for our guests and campus community. Tour groups are capped at 30 visitors to ensure an engaging experience. If your preferred tour is full, please contact [email protected] to be added to our standby list. Standby requests will be informed if they can be accomodated one week prior to tour dates.

All Brooklyn campus tours leave from the Admissions Office on the 2nd floor of Myrtle Hall. Myrtle Hall is located across the street from the main campus on Willoughby Avenue; make the first left into the Willoughby Residence Hall parking lot. Myrtle Hall is directly ahead (modern glass building) and located at 215 Willoughby Ave.

Pratt also offers information sessions (undergraduate and graduate) and portfolio reviews (undergraduates only) in the spring, summer and fall.  All of Pratt’s various visit options are listed online.  

Scheduling a Tour

Pratt offers major-specific or general tours each week (with the exception of finals weeks and semester breaks ). All of our campus tours will cover general campus content and then break into major-specific groups, so you only need to register for one tour.

*From May 20th through August 16th, the 1:30pm tour will be offered at 1pm to accomodate the Institute’s Summer Hours policy.

Beat the heat July 5 with First Friday on campus

Take a break from the heat during the holiday weekend for First Friday at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Three of campus’ iconic museums will host First Friday events July 5.

Admission is free at each location during First Friday, and these events are open to the public.

Sheldon Museum of Art

Sheldon Museum of Art, 451 N. 12th St., will welcome First Friday visitors from 4-7 p.m. The exhibitions currently on view are taking their final bow — they end July 7. These include:

“(In)Credible: Exploring Trust and Misperceptions” — In a time of extensive information, misinformation, disinformation, and declining trust in experts and institutions, how do we sort through the vastness to determine what is or is not trustworthy?

“Unprecedented: Art in Times of Crisis” — This exhibition explores art produced in response to global or internal events experienced during periods of plight, and are artists’ expressions of humanity’s ability to weather times of uncertainty and upheaval.

“Sheldon in Focus: The New York School” — Beginning in the 1940s, in the drafty lofts and studio apartments in Lower Manhattan, a group of artists experimented with painting and sculpture, resulting in a new American art movement.

Learn more about the Sheldon and the exhibitions, including the outdoor sculpture collection.

Great Plains Art Museum

The Great Plains Art Museum, 1155 Q St., will be open until 7 p.m., with light refreshments served from 5-7 p.m. The museum currently has the following exhibitions on view:

“Charles W. Guildner: Selections from the Collection” — Guildner’s black-and-white images document farms, ranches, and small communities of the rural heartland. This selection highlights his “Lives of Tradition” series and includes many recent acquisitions.

“Recent Acquisitions 2024” — This exhibition brings together a selection of artworks that have been added to the Great Plains Art Museum’s collection in the past two years. It showcases the diverse media and subject matter found in the permanent collection, and includes works not previously displayed.

“Ix’? broge waxonyit? ke/ki (Every Life is Sacred)” — Recent textile work by Mih? Xege, Faded Woman (Tamara Faw Faw), a Jiwere-Nut’achi (Otoe-Missouria) artist. These pieces bring attention to issues affecting Indigenous people in both the United States and Canada.

“(Re)Connected: Elizabeth Rubendall Artist-in-Residence Angela Two Stars” — The Great Plains Art Museum’s 2024 Elizabeth Rubendall Artist in Residence is Angela Two Stars, a multidisciplinary visual artist, public artist, and curator. “(Re)Connected” addresses issues that have caused the traumas endured by Native women, but also highlights their strength, beauty, and resilience, as well as their roles as leaders, caretakers, life-givers, and protectors of all their relations.

Learn more about the art and mission of the Great Plains Art Museum, part of the university’s Center for Great Plains Studies.

International Quilt Museum

The International Quilt Museum, 1523 N. 33rd St., is showcasing a special collection during First Friday, 4-7 p.m., with one-of-a-kind banners recently created for the Lincoln Arts Festival held in June. The banners are on display in the Reception Hall through July 11.

Refreshments will be served and family activities are planned. A read aloud of the book, “The World Needs Who You Are Made to Be,” will be at 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30 p.m., with an accompanying art project.

Current exhibitions are:

“Feed Sacks: An American Fairy Tale” — The term “feed sack” is a catch-all for cloth bags that stored dry goods. The use and re-use of these bags ramped up in the early 20th century and took off during World War II, continuing through the 1960s. Thrifty quilters, seamstresses, home sewists and children re-used the cloth to create quilts, clothes, bedding, decor and accessories that exemplify the era.

“Second Chances: Upcycled Modern Quilts” — Inspired by concurrent exhibition, “Feed Sacks,” Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild members created new versions of vintage quilts from repurposed or reclaimed materials.

“Best of Show: Nebraska State Fair Quilts” — The Nebraska State Fair has celebrated quilting since 1909 with various categories and its top award, Best of Show. Lincoln quilter Bonnie Kucera put together this exhibition of the State Fair’s Best of Show quilts from the last three decades.

“Rebound, Renew, Reimagine: The Manhattan Quilters Guild” — The artists of the Manhattan Quilters Guild present new work that celebrates a return to pre-Covid life. The guild created this project to celebrate rebounding from the restrictions that limited personal contact and renewing activities which were not possible during the pandemic.

“Option Expedition by Victoria Findlay Wolfe” — Victoria Findlay Wolfe takes basic shapes of patchwork — square, circle, triangle, parallelogram — and breaks down design principles of space, balance, scale, line, shape, color, emphasis, contrast, value, repetition, movement, texture, and unity to look at the bold, beautiful choices available. By changing the way they look at each of those design elements, artists can train themselves to see differently in their own creative process. Findlay Wolfe hopes that this exploration will be inspire other artists to ponder their own journey while viewing her work.

“Sue Spargo: A Journey in Quilting” — The unique imagery in this collection reflects the multi-cultural background of the artist and her childhood memories from Africa. Spargo grew up in South Africa, then moved to south England, and eventually lived in four states in the U.S.

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (July 3, 2024) — U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg joined Gov. Roy Cooper on Tuesday to visit the transportation research facility at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University’s Gateway Research Park North Campus. Gateway North houses a diverse fleet of connected autonomous vehicles and one of the nation’s first rural test tracks for testing and developing autonomous vehicles. 

Buttigieg, Cooper and North Carolina Board of Transportation Chair Michael Fox rode autonomous shuttles on the test track and witnessed the vertical takeoff and landing of prototype “air taxis” being developed for package delivery and urban air mobility . Students also demonstrated A&T capabilities in using autonomous aerial vehicles to  inspect bridges and other infrastructure .

“The work that is being done here at North Carolina A&T is going to help make it possible for America to advance in transportation technology, like autonomous driving and flight,” said Buttigieg. “It is being done with a great deal of attention on safety and data on the equity implications like how we serve rural areas, improve access to healthcare and education and how we can support the disability community.”

Buttigieg is the latest federal Cabinet member to travel to A&T for review of significant research activity and federally sponsored projects. Others include EPA Administrator Michael Regan ’98, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

How does A&T transportation research fit into U.S. DOT’s innovation strategy?

Buttigieg, Cooper and Fox got a briefing Tuesday from an array of A&T faculty researchers focusing on high-profile current studies and other prominent research that has seen the university emerge as a national leader transportation research and autonomy in recent years. Those researchers included:

• Maranda McBride, Ph.D., management professor and director of the Center for Advanced Transportation Mobility and co-director of Center for Regional and Rural Connected Communities
• Rachel Liu, Ph.D. , UPS Endowed Professor of Supply Chain Management and director of the Transportation Institute. McBride and Liu are Willie A. Deese College of Business and Economics faculty.
• Ali Karimoddini, Ph.D., electrical and computer engineering professor and director of CR2C2, the Region 4 University Transportation Center, which also includes Clemson, Florida Atlantic, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia as research partners. A&T is the first HBCU to serve as a regional lead in the UTC program’s history.
• Abdollah Homaifar, Ph.D., Duke Energy Eminent Professor and director of the Autonomous Control and Information Technology Institute on air and ground transportation)
• Venktesh Pandey, Ph.D., assistant professor of civil engineering and co-lead of CR2C2 on equity and accessibility of transportation systems.

Sarah Searcy, senior advisor for Innovation, Integrated Mobility Division, North Carolina Department of Transportation, concluded the session by detailing her agency’s support for transportation research at A&T.

The demonstration portion of the tour featured rides in Aggie Autonomous shuttles on the  rural test track , a 2-mile-long route simulating rural driving conditions. This track allows researchers to test A&T-developed technology that enables vehicle autonomy in real-world conditions.

Guests then witnessed demonstration of the prototype aircraft being developed with support from NASA. These air taxis ultimately promise to relieve congestion on urban roadways and increase connectivity to rural communities by flying goods and passengers from location to location.
