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 and live with museum artworks.
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 on campus. Featured artists include Romare Bearden, Ambreen Butt, Antonio Frasconi, Jiha Moon, Cara Romero, Mickalene Thomas, Paula Wilson, and many more. You can preview available artworks in the collection here.
