Pratt Fine Arts Center, in Seattle’s Central District, has been a community arts hub for the past fifty years. Pratt was initially established by the City of Seattle — named for the civil rights leader Edwin T. Pratt, Executive Director of the Seattle Urban League — who was murdered in 1969. Pratt serves artists of all ages and abilities, year-round, with affordable classes and studios. It provides access to diverse media including glass; sculpture in metal, stone, wood, and mixed-media; jewelry art; paper and felt-making; and a variety of 2D media including drawing, painting, and printmaking. Featured artists include former and current students, instructors, board members, and staff.
