Why Join?

The Pratt Insiders group bridges the Pratt Contemporaries and Pratt Society membership circles and offers unique, stimulating, and engaging programs and special events that suit a busy lifestyle.

Members of the Pratt Insiders receive invitations to exclusive events throughout the year and special receptions with speakers. Most importantly, your generosity helps sustain thousands of free programs offered each year. Because public dollars do not stretch beyond basic operating expenses, private support is critical to fund signature programs that have come to define the Pratt.

For more information, contact Chris Lewis, the Library’s Individual and Corporate Giving Manager at (410) 396-5275 or clewis@prattlibrary.org.
