The Yale School of Art is excited to announce that its annual open studios event is taking place in person in 2026, 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 and undergraduate art majors will be open to the public from 12–6pm on Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12 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.
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 2026 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 2026 Open Studios website will launch ahead of the start of Open Studios weekend.
