Admission is by audition, and enrollment is limited to fifty. One or more Workshops are also offered each summer. Each focuses on a particular area of the chamber music repertoire, and is generally limited to twenty or fewer participants. In 2001 there will be a Contemporary Music Workshop from June 25 to July 7. Selected colleges, universities, and professional art schools across the country and abroad are invited to nominate for these fellowships two candidates who are currently enrolled as juniors in their programs.
Students follow a required program of painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography.
Distinguished artists are on both the resident and visiting faculty. The visiting faculty provide workshops, lectures, and individual criticism. Students interested in being considered for nomination to the program should contact the head of the art department at their school for further information. Individuals may not apply directly to the art program. Yale students teach bright and motivated New Haven youngsters in grades 6 through 8.
