BIRTHDAY BLOCK PARTY
13 September, 2025, ALL DAY

 

In 2025, the Hood Museum of Art will commemorate its 40th anniversary with landmark exhibitions and innovative programs that support a visionary future for art at Dartmouth and amoung the communities of the Upper Valley region of New Hampshire and Vermont.

Dartmouth's collections are among the oldest and largest of any college or university in the country, but it was not until 1985 that they were all housed under one roof and made available to faculty, students, and the public. In celebration of the opening of the Hood Museum of Art in 1985, the Hood Museum's 40th anniversary offers us a chance to reflect on all we've accomplished in our first four decades as we seek to advance learning, care, and connections through the reach and relevance of visual art and material culture as a nexus for the exchange of ideas.

Join us as we look forward to our next 40 years of centering art and people in teaching and learning through inclusive and robust academic, cultural, and civic engagements with art and its histories.
