Pratt Fine Arts Center
About Pratt Fine Arts Center Pratt Fine Arts Center began in 1976 as a tiny art facility with a big vision to build a community of artists and an educational center providing the tools and the training to support the creation of art. Today, Pratt makes art accessible to everyone, offering a place for spirited exchange, self-expression and personal transformation through creativity. A unique multidisciplinary visual arts resource, Pratt provides education and instruction, community programs and professionally equipped art making facilities.
Your artist is inside. Pratt Fine Arts Center is proud to serve as a lasting tribute to Edwin T. Pratt, a civil rights leader who devoted his life to improving the quality of life for all people. Mr. Pratt served as Executive Director of the Seattle Urban League from 1961 to 1969. His assassination in that year by unknown assailants was deeply felt by many Seattleites who depended on Pratt’s calm leadership during a period of social upheaval. For almost four decades, Pratt has been providing the Northwest community with the opportunity to experience art. Pratt’s classes teach more than 3,800 students and its studios serve more than 300 working artists each year. Its classes, lectures and programs reach more than 20,000 people annually. Affordable studio space with an unparalleled array of equipment provides artists of all ages and abilities with the opportunity to learn, to experiment and to create.
