Open House New York

For the first time, Pratt will join with other partners throughout the five boroughs to be part of Open House New York (OHNY). OHNY promotes broad, unparalleled access to the city—to the places, people, projects, systems, and ideas that define New York and its future. Through their year-round programming, including the annual OHNY Weekend festival, OHNY offers a citywide platform for education, exploration, and engagement about the connections between quality of place and quality of life for all New Yorkers.

Launched in 2003, Open House New York Weekend is an annual festival that opens hundreds of noteworthy or significant places across the five boroughs to foster discovery and delight for New Yorkers and visitors alike.

On October 20-22, 2023, the 21st annual OHNY Weekend festival will offer a mix of in-person experiences, self-guided explorations, and digital content—inviting the public to get an insider’s look at an array of cultural spaces.

On Sunday, October 22nd, OHNY participants are invited to the Pratt campus to take a self-guided tour of the sculpture garden or participate in a HAD-facilitated guided campus tour. The tour will provide access to spaces not usually open to non-Pratt community members. OHNY is a unique opportunity to share our campus and welcome fellow New Yorkers to Pratt. #OHNYwknd
