The Yale School of Art is a graduate school that confers MFAs in Graphic Design, Painting/Printmaking, Photography, and Sculpture; and offers undergraduate-level art courses to Yale College students. Our website exists as an ongoing collaborative experiment in digital publishing and information sharing. It functions as a wiki—all members of the School of Art community have the ability to add new, and edit most existing, content.

A message to students from SoA staff:

Students are invited to edit the majority of the wiki however they like, but we ask that any student projects or initiatives that you would like to share be added to this section of the homepage.

Students are also invited to reach out to Communications Associate Lindsey Mancini if they would like additional support from the School in bringing attention to their work and endeavors.
