Thank you to the LA Alumni Network for hosting a fantastic docent-led LA Central Library Art & Architecture Tour over the weekend!

Congratulations to Peter Kuper, Fine Art ’82, a 2026 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Illustrated Reporting and Commentary. ICYMI: Peter is featured in our Pratt Alumni Book Club series. Link in bio to watch Peter's conversation with Jorge Oliver, Dean of the School of Art. Central to Peter’s creative process are acts of fluidity, experimentation, and discovery. “It was really like the joy of opening a door, and you did not know what was going to happen when you walked through it and what you would stumble upon.”

Join us for a virtual conversation with Alyona Makeeva (MID ‘07), Lead Visual Merchandising Designer and Project Manager at Estée Lauder for Kilian Paris and Frédéric Malle.

We'll discuss how being "just" a technical designer is rarely enough. We'll also touch on how designers behind major retail experiences know that their work is not just aesthetic; it influences how people interact with a brand.
