I’m so excited to announce that another iteration of the Synchrony x Pratt Institute Annual Exhibition Open Call is LIVE! ✨

This is a paid exhibition opportunity for Pratt students and alumni to have their work showcased at Synchrony’s NYC Hub and office for a full year. Artists receive a $1,200 stipend for the 12-month artwork rental, travel stipend, and reimbursement for framing (if necessary). 🖼️

And there’s more! We’ll create mini prints of your artwork to be featured in Synchrony’s print vending machine, available exclusively to guests at the opening reception. 🖼️🎨

The exhibition Ghost Light takes its name from the long-standing tradition of leaving a single glowing lightbulb on a portable stand when a theater is unoccupied at night. Beyond their practical role in preventing accidents in an otherwise dark theater, ghost lights serve a secondary purpose. According to theater superstition, they are believed to either appease or ward off mischievous spirits that dwell and haunt theatrical spaces. In these dual associations, a ghost light functions as a symbolic, protective presence.
Within this metaphorical framework, the exhibition considers artistic practices that trace the ways in which memories and histories dwell and haunt architectural spaces and landscapes, alongside artists interested in fantasy and world-building. Among the sixteen artists, some draw from archives or historical events to engage with architecture, tracing how walls, floors, façades, and domestic spaces hold meaning. Others turn to ecological sites to trace the aftermath of destruction or reflect on personal memories and feelings of displacement. This exhibition invites visitors to sense their own ghost lights as a metaphorical thread to understand what remains, persists, and haunts the resonant spaces we inhabit.
Exhibiting artists: Julie Jewon Huh, Jay Guo, malu laet, Yongxi (Vivian) Lin, Minjee, Marie Moeller, Jessi Olarsch, Caroline O’Grady, Morgan O’Connell, Sefa Ozdogan, Hannah Law, Tanvi Shaha, Ry Watkins, Rainy Yuchen Wei, Nessa Yang, and Zheming (Jennings) Yang
