Art to Live With

The Smart Museum’s Art to Live With program offers UChicago students living in residence halls the unique opportunity to borrow original works of art. This fall, choose from 139 specially designated artworks, including new acquisitions selected by our Student Advisory Committee. Discover a collection curated for student dorm rooms and find your match!

You can preview the artwork in advance by attending the Art-B-Q, viewing the pop-up exhibition, or liking your favorite pieces on the @art_to_live_with Instagram!
