The Pratt Graphic Art Center, also called the Pratt Graphics Center, was a print workshop and gallery in New York, which evolved from Margaret Lowengrund's Contemporaries Graphic Art Centre. In 1956 Fritz Eichenberg became the Center's director, serving until 1972. The Center was associated with the Pratt Institute, providing a space specifically for printmaking. It was used by both students and established artists including Jim Dine, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman and Claes Oldenburg. The Center also published a journal titled, Artist's Proof, edited by Eichenberg and Andrew Stasik, and had an exhibition space. The Pratt Graphic Art Center closed in 1986.
