An art loan program, exclusively for University of Chicago students
Art to Live With offers UChicago students living in residence halls the unique opportunity to borrow original works of art to display in their dorm rooms.
This fall, choose from specially designated artworks, including new acquisitions selected by our Art to Live With Acquisitions Committee. Works will be loaned at no cost for the duration of the academic year. Discover a collection curated for student dorm rooms and find your match!
Check-in: 10 AM | Doors: 11 AM
Come to the Smart Museum courtyard Sunday, October 11th by 10am and get your spot in line. Once you have checked in to secure your place, meet new friends, strategize your pick, and enjoy food and entertainment!
Please note: There will NOT be multiple check-ins this year. Places in line are first come first served! The first and only check-in to secure your spot is Sunday, October 11th at 10am. The line will begin under the Smart’s east portico near the main entrance, and curve into the courtyard. While you are lined up, an Art to Live With staff member will give you a sticker representing your place in line. Once you have your sticker, you will check in at the center table to confirm with staff that you live in campus housing. Once checked in, you can break out of line to enjoy snacks and lawn games until it’s your turn to enter the museum.
