On May 16, Pratt Institute welcomed 300 guests at its Art of Packaging Award Gala, an annual affair that celebrates excellence in packaging design. The event raised $300,000, which benefits the Marc Rosen Scholarship Fund for Packaging by Design at Pratt Institute and attracts leading companies and executives from the multi-billion-dollar cosmetics industry. The glamorous dinner marked 28 years of the Fund, which has helped raise more than $3.8 million for scholarships for graduate packaging design students at Pratt.
The Art of Packaging Award is presented annually to a beauty industry company or individual that has excelled in the art form of package design. This year, Pratt honored Batallure Beauty chairman and co-founder Robin Burns McNeil and president, CEO, and co-founder Sam Ghusson, who accepted the Art of Packaging Award. Fashion designer Derek Lam introduced them.
For details and photos of attendees, honorees and award-winning student designs, please stay tuned to the July/August issue of Beauty Packaging.
