Sketching in the Galleries

Multiple people sit before a large, round painting, with sketch paper and pencil in hand

The program “Sketching in The Dance of Life,” 2024 

Inaugurated in 1867, Street Hall—today part of the Yale University Art Gallery—housed the first collegiate 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. Generously sponsored by the Martin A. Ryerson Lectureship Fund. 

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