Sketching in the Galleries

Join us for a relaxing sketching session at the Yale University Art Gallery, inspired by this year’s NEA Big Read book The House on Mango Street. Participants will be able to view works in the gallery that reflect ideas of home, belonging, and identity, while using drawing as a way to slow down, observe, and connect with art.

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. Generously sponsored by the Martin A. Ryerson Lectureship Fund.

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