Selection Process & Form Submission

Spring 2024 Art Loan Process

A selection of Art Loan works (all new works and some old favorites) will be shown in a mini-exhibition at the beginning of the semester in the Meier-Draudt Curatorial Classroom of The Gund. This selection of works will be on view from Monday, January 22 to Friday, January 26, 2024.
Any student who lives on campus and is interested in borrowing a work of art will need to submit an online ballot using the below Google Form. On this ballot, you will list your top 5 choices should your name be chosen. Ballots must be submitted by noon on Friday, January 26, 2024. One entry per student.

After the ballot submission period is over, the names of 70 individuals will be selected at random from those who submitted ballots.
The individuals whose names have been chosen will be notified by email which artwork they were matched with and instructions to come to the Gallery Monday, January 29 to Tuesday, January 30, 2024 to either pick up their Art Loan object or to arrange for its installation in their dorm room.
While at The Gund, borrowers will need to fill out all required paperwork and authorize a $10 loan fee to be applied to their student account. Borrowers must present a valid Kenyon ID at this time. They will then be given the artwork, all necessary hardware, and detailed instructions on how to properly install the work in their dorm or they will schedule a date / time for the work to be installed by The Gund Associates (these installations will take place Wednesday 1/31 - Friday 2/2).
Enjoy your artwork for the duration of the semester! Be sure to provide a safe and secure home for the artwork.
Art Loan returns will take place in May at the end of the residential portion of the semester. A Gund representative will contact you to coordinate a date/time for you to return the work to the Gallery or for The Gund Associates to collect it from your dorm room.
All works need to be returned to The Gund by Friday, May 3, 2024. Failure to return the work on time will result in a $5 per day overdue fee (including weekends).
