Yale School ­of Art

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.

Hindsight 2020

Photography 2020 MFA Thesis Exhibition

June 17 – 24, 2021

Green Hall Gallery

The Yale School of Art is pleased to announce the 2020 Photography MFA thesis exhibition, Hindsight 2020, open to the School of Art community June 17–24 in Green Hall Gallery.

One year after the show’s cancellation due to Covid-19, the graduates of the 2020 MFA in Photography — Angela Chen, D’Angelo Christian, Robert Andy Coombs, Rory Hamovit, Elizabeth Hibbard, Dawn Kim, Morgan Levy, Jane Lowe, Allison Minto and Jiajun Wang — have gathered to share their work.

Due to Covid-19 precautions, the physical exhibition in Green Hall Gallery is viewable only to members of the School of Art community, 9AM–5PM daily. A reminder to complete the Daily Health Check before coming to campus (required unless your full vaccination is registered with the University).

The general public is invited to view a comprehensive online exhibition launching in July. The website will be accompanied by texts by David Campany and Efrem Zelony-Mindell.

President Salovey has named Kymberly Pinder as the next Stavros Niarchos Foundation Dean of the Yale School of Art. We look forward to welcoming Professor Pinder, a graduate of Yale, back to campus when her appointment begins on July 1, 2021.

Welcome to Spring 2021!

We’re excited to begin the semester with Hyeree Ro’s encouraging design, inspired by Manita de la Suerte, a Mexican lollipop that has different messages embedded in the palms like fortune cookies.

Here, the message reads: “Pasaras Arte,” meaning “You will pass art.” 💪

Faculty/Alumni: Post Your Art Apprenticeship/Internship Opportunities for Undergraduates

The Yale Arts Apprenticeship Program is an initiative that connects Yale undergraduates, particularly those on financial aid, with professional arts practitioners of any discipline. As an option within Yale’s Summer Experience Award (SEA) funding model, the Arts Apprenticeship must fulfill the same basic requirements. Additional details, as well as those specific to the Arts Apprenticeship are included below. Yale faculty, alumni, or other arts practitioners interested in featuring positions through the program should contact Yale’s Creative Careers advisor. Which Opportunities are Eligible? Must be at least 30 hours/week, for at least 8-weeks over the summer months. Those 8-weeks do not have to be continuous if the mentoring Arts Practitioner agrees on a different schedule. The time commitment need not all be in direct contact with the Arts Practitioner. Independent projects, tasks, research, etc. can comprise much of the experience, as long as the Arts Practitioner is checking in regularly with the student to provide oversight and career-based context. The opportunity cannot be with a for-profit organization. The engagement for an Arts Apprenticeship should be directly with an individual Arts Practitioner and not with a company. The only exception to this would be if the company overseeing the apprenticeship were a registered non-profit organization.
