Sketching in the Galleries

Inaugurated in 1867, Street Hall—today part of the Yale University Art Gallery—housed the first school of art in the country. Its curriculum permitted students from a variety of disciplines to sketch from live models and original works of art. Take part in this centuries-old practice by joining us for an evening of guided sketching. 

​

Open to all ages and levels of drawing experience. Materials are provided.

​

University students: if you need a break from your studies, join us for an hour of sketching and listening to music, with a takeaway treat at the end.
