The Yale School of Art annually hosts an MFA thesis exhibition that showcases the culmination of two years of intensive work from all its 2024 MFA candidates, from painting /printmaking to graphic design, from sculpture to photography. You can see the work of the newest soon-to-be Yale alumni artists at the dates below.
All thesis exhibitions and receptions are held in the school’s Green Hall Gallery at 1156 Chapel Street, New Haven.
Members of the public are invited into the galleries for our public receptions taking place on January 26, February 9, March 1, March 29, May 3, and May 18, all from 6pm–8pm. During regular operating hours the gallery is open only to the Yale Community and their invited accompanied guests.
