Inaugurated in 1867, Yale University Art Gallery’s Street Hall 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 and join Julia Rooney, M.F.A. candidate at the Yale School of Art, for an afternoon of guided sketching at the Gallery.

Materials are provided. Space is limited.
