The first Pratt Munson Art Market was featured in WKTV. “For the students, it gives them a chance to show their work, but it also gives them a chance to articulate what it’s about, what their goals are, and what they’re hoping to do,” Pratt Munson Dean Suzanne Snyder said. “It allows them to start thinking about how they’ll market themselves in two years when they graduate.”
