Having been obliged to cancel our program for summer 2020 and summer 2021, Pratt in Venice returned to our fragile and beautiful site in 2022. And both the miraculous site and our wonderful hosts and collaborators were there to welcome and instruct us.
Painting alongside canals, studying masterpieces up close, and exploring printmaking, Pratt in Venice students are expanding their artistic knowledge abroad.
“Pratt in Venice was an experience like no other. Through the act of visiting and seeing these works in person, we were able to foster a deeper understanding of creators and artists of that time.”
“The program turned out to be quite an experience. I learned a lot about Venetian art and culture, about Pratt and the students there as well as a lot about myself.”
I am left now with so much at my fingertips. Whether it be connections, friendships, memories, knowledge, interest, or the most invigorating of all: passion. Venice is oozing with that stuff, and now I am too.
When you come to Venice you’re immediately immersed in culture and history. It is overwhelming and it is spectacular. The elegant city is romantic and breathtaking.
“I hold those six weeks very close to my heart, not only because of the beautiful memories I made along the way, but because of the life-changing learning opportunities that the trip provided me with.”
Anyone who has gone on a study abroad will tell you that it was an irreplaceable experience, that it changed their lives. I believed these people but didn’t fully understand this until attending the Pratt in Venice program.
The expertise that Diana and Joe bring to the curriculum is unparalleled, and their excitement for the city and its art and architecture make the classes extremely interesting.
