      Join us for the Yale University Art Gallery's new family program, Getting StARTed, which offers engaging activities to guide families in looking at art together.

      The 30-minute sessions focus on a range of works from the collection and build in time for participants to try the month's activity on their own. No registration required.

      This program is free and open to the public. We welcome Yale graduate students and their families to experience the Gallery and to meet with members of the Graduate School Alumni Association (GSAA) Board, either before or after the sessions. Come learn how the GSAA Board interacts with and supports Yale graduate students and alumni.
