      Pratt in Residence

      The Hackerman Artist in Residence & Writer in Residence programs are annual opportunities welcoming one visual artist and one writer for a year-long residency at the Pratt.

      “What a treat to have famous authors visit.”

      Gilda D, Waverly

      “Excellent library, great resources beyond the standard public library selection, particularly academic resources in the arts.”

      Christopher P, Central

      “Pratt is the lifeline to books, movies, and connections for our family. The accessibility makes it an unparalleled resource.”
