Pratt In Residence
The Hackerman Artist & Writer in Residence programs are designed to bring creatives from all corners of Baltimore together to share and create at the Pratt Library.
The Hackerman Artist in Residence & Writer in Residence programs are annual opportunities welcoming one visual artist and one writer for a year-long residency at the Pratt. These residencies provide the recipient with resources and space to continue their work while also offering opportunities for connection and education with the Baltimore community.
