Gallery House, a program of the DGT Foundation, is a semester-long Internship Program in which students earn academic credit for participating in an experiential learning opportunity that involves planning, curating and promoting an art or design exhibit benefiting a charity of their choosing. The class of fall 2017 produced 'Yesterday's Tomorrow' benefiting the Children's Arts Guild.  The DGT Foundation is the educational and charitable arm of the DGT Alumni Association, and organization dating to 1898 with living members who graduated from Pratt Institute in the 1950s through the present. Since 2006 a former local fraternity has engaged in the process of transformation to meet the leadership development and professional networking needs of students in a new 21'st Century era and as a response to the changing culture and demographics of Pratt Institute.
