Discover the Arts at Yale

With two major art museums, a critically acclaimed repertory theater, state-of-the-art concert halls, and world-renowned Schools of Architecture, Art, Drama, and Music, Yale University is an internationally recognized center for the visual and performing arts.

Indeed, Yale was one of the first American universities to foster the arts. As one of the nation’s foremost institutions of higher learning, it has for over a century been the training ground for some of the country’s most distinguished actors, playwrights, artists, museum professionals, architects, musicians, and composers. Chuck Close, Norman Foster, Maya Lin, Richard Stoltzman, Meryl Streep, and Wendy Wasserstein are just a handful of the graduates of Yale’s professional schools of the arts who have made lasting contributions in their chosen fields.
