 | This publicity poster for the Yale Winter Arts Festival is by Ashley Linnenbank '06. Chosen in a poster competition for the festival, it aptly represents the theme of this year's festival -- reflections. |
A Winter Arts Festival showcasing ,the collective and individual creativity of the Yale community will take place Friday-Sunday, Jan. 21-23.
The event, which was organized by the Yale Student Activities Committee, is loosely organized around the theme "Reflections."
"The purpose of the festival is to produce a unique event for the Yale and New Haven community that shows off the immense talent Yale has to offer from undergraduates to professional school students to alumni and faculty," says Orly Friedman '07, chair of the festival.
"People are doing so many amazing things every weekend of the year, but one never experiences the full force of artistic brilliance Yale has to offer," she adds.
While many of the festival events are free and open to the public, there are fees for some activities such as the Kick-off Show -- the proceeds of which will be donated to Disaster Relief-Sri Lanka (see related story). A pass to all of the for-fee events is $8; tickets to the individual events are listed below. The names of those who buy a pass and attend five events will be entered into a raffle for various prizes. Passes can be purchased in the rotunda outside of Yale Commons Jan. 17-21, or via e-mail at winterfestival@yalestation.org.
