Pratt Institute's Fine Arts MFA program is presenting its 2026 thesis exhibitions in a two-part show curated by Alessandra Gómez at Dock 72 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard this spring. The exhibitions feature the culminating work of the graduating MFA candidates, offering a public showcase of emerging artistic talent.
These thesis shows are a critical launchpad for early-career artists, providing visibility within the New York art scene. They serve as a key indicator of emerging trends and future directions in contemporary art, drawing attention from galleries, critics, and collectors who scout for new talent at such academic exhibitions.
