The Yale Norfolk School of Art gets underway this Saturday on the Battell-Stoeckel Estate in the center of Norfolk and continues through June 29 with 25 students participating in the undergraduate program.
As always, there will be community outreach, both through a series of lectures centered around this year’s theme of “Making Light” and through Community Drawing, two-hour live model drawing sessions that are open to the public. The drawing sessions are held in the Art Barn on the estate Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday mornings at 10:00 a.m., starting May 25.
The Thursday Night Lecture Series begins May 23. All lectures take place in the Art Barn with a wine reception to follow.
Yale also will seek to engage with Norfolk residents through its Community Art Project. Open Studios and the Community Art Project reception are scheduled for June 23 from 1:00-6:00 p.m.
