The Hood Museum mixes art into the daily lives of Dartmouth students with Student Art Lending at Dartmouth (SALAD). SALAD offers current undergraduates and graduate students the opportunity to borrow museum-quality artworks from an exclusive capsule collection.

Developed in consultation with Hood Museum curators and a student committee from the Museum Club, the SALAD collection reflects a broad range of artistic approaches and viewpoints to connect to the diversity of student perspectives and interests on campus. Featured artists include Romare Bearden, Ambreen Butt, Antonio Frasconi, Jiha Moon, Cara Romero, Mickalene Thomas, Paula Wilson, and many more.

Save the date for the inaugural SALAD Pickup Day: Friday, October 4, 2024, at 3:30 pm at the Hood Museum of Art. There are a limited number of works available on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early to secure yours for the academic year!
