Pratt receives grant
Thanks to a grant from the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Pratt Museum is embarking on Phase 2 of its Master Exhibition Plan, Kachemak Bay: An Exploration of People and Place. Phase 1 opened in 2004, engaging over 200 community collaborators, and Phase 2 exhibit development is happening in tandem with the Pratt’s building renovation over the next five years. The Pratt is also currently gathering input on its building and site plans through an online survey. View the concept plans at www.prattmuseum.org
