Close2025 Open Studios (test)
Fri, Aug 14 – Thu, Aug 20, 2026, 4 PM ET – 10 PM ET
The Yale School of Art is excited to announce that its annual open studios event is taking place in person in 2025, with work by participating artists also made available online. Studios will be open to the public and are located across Yale’s campus in downtown New Haven.
The studios of participating MFA students will be open to the public from 12–6pm on Saturday, April 5 and Sunday, April 6 in the departments of Graphic Design, Painting and Printmaking, Photography, and Sculpture. Pre-registration is encouraged, but day-of registration will also be available at the door. Members of the public are invited to check in at both 1156 Chapel Street and 36 Edgewood Avenue in New Haven. Register to attend by clicking the orange "register" button above.
Events—artist talks, performances, and workshops—are also being hosted across the School of Art as part of Open Studios. The full schedule of community-led programming will be made available through the School of Art’s public events calendar and on the 2025 Open Studios website.
Online representation of work by participating MFA students will also be made available as part of a continued effort to expand the means through which students’ work and practice is accessible to the public as part of the annual open studios event. The 2025 Open Studios website will launch ahead of the start of Open Studios weekend in late March 2025.
Two fellow arts organizations in New Haven—NXTHVN and the Ely Center of Contemporary Art—are also hosting open studios events on April 5 and 6. Full information available at newhavenopenstudios.org >
