Open Studios/Open Fields is a dynamic event hosted by Pratt Fine Arts’ MFA program at Dock 72 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, bringing together artistic production and the networks that sustain it. From 12–8pm on Saturday, November 8, 2025, the public is invited to explore MFA studios, engage with artists, and connect directly with organizations dedicated to supporting creative practice.
Open Studios offers visitors a chance to experience works in progress, meet MFA artists in their studios, and view a pop-up exhibition across the program’s gallery spaces.
Open Fields: An Artist Resource Fair convenes nonprofit organizations from across NYC and beyond — including residencies, grant-making foundations, maker spaces, advocacy groups, and alternative exhibition venues. Representatives will share resources, answer questions, and offer practical guidance, complemented by panel discussions on sustaining artistic careers and well-being.
Together, these components form an immersive ecosystem that bridges artistic vision with the networks, funding, and organizations that help bring it to life. Artists gain visibility and forge meaningful connections; organizations engage with artists in their creative environments, gaining insight into their practices and needs; and visitors and community members experience the vibrancy of contemporary artmaking alongside the systems of support that sustain it.
