The Yale School of Art’s Hayden Distinguished Fellows, Visiting Artists, & Distinguished Speakers program is generously made possible by the Hayden Fund for Art and Ideas,.

The initiative brings globally recognized leaders in art and the academy to Yale to work with students as teachers, mentors, and critics. The guests’ engagement strengthens a critical link between the Yale School of Art and the international artistic community, as the esteemed guests give public lectures, teach classes, and participate in studio visits and critiques.
