May 23 – July 3, 2026

The Yale Norfolk School of Art, established in 1948, is an intensive six-week undergraduate summer residency program for rising seniors, hosted on the Ellen Battell Stoeckel Estate in Norfolk, Connecticut.

Yale Norfolk is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for young artists. The program fosters vital educational partnerships between Yale and participating institutions, supporting students at a crucial moment of artistic growth. Many alumni have gone on to make significant contributions to the field and credit Yale Norfolk with a profound impact on their lives and practice.

Individuals may not apply directly to the program; they must be nominated by a dean, program chair, or other academic official at their home institution. Students interested in being considered should inform their deans and department chairs. Full financial support from home institutions for accepted students is essential. By successfully completing the program, students receive 3 course credits or 12 units toward their degrees.
