- Description
- Correspondence, service contracts, block grant materials, recreation services survey, and attendance reports for a fine arts program established in 1978 to serve the City's central area. It was created as part of a cultural arts center based in the Yesler-Atlantic neighborhood and operated out of the Langston Hughes Cultural Arts Center. Conceived as a "fire arts" studio, Pratt offered classes in glass, pottery, jewelry and metalsmithing, metal fabrication and sculpture. Pratt, along with other art programs, was cut from the city budget in 1980. A private non-profit group, City Art Works, was formed to continue the operation of Pratt and its many programs.nnRecords of City Art Works (record series 5807-16) include additional documentation on the operations of Pratt Fine Arts Center. For related records documenting the administration of the Department of Parks and Recreation Performing and Visual Arts Program, see record series 5807-14.nn
