The Center K-12 brings together art, design, and architecture to create meaningful educational exchanges between Pratt faculty and students, and schools and community-based organizations that benefit the learning goals of both, as well as advance academic research in K-12 art and design education. As we strive to ensure opportunities for all children we partner with others who share our goal to close the opportunity gaps for children and young people to education and employment, and recognize efforts by faculty who have made a significant contribution to children and youth particularly in art, design, and related fields.
