Selection Process & Form Submission

After the ballot submission period is over, the names of 110 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 Thursday, September 18, 2025 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 $30 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 September 19-24, but not on the weekend).

Enjoy your artwork for the whole academic year! Be sure to provide a safe and secure home for the artwork. Be sure to keep the bubble pouch that your art came in if you installed it yourself. You will need it to return the work in at the end of the year.

Art Loan returns will take place in May at the end of the residential portion of the Academic Year. A Gund representative will contact you to coordinate a date/time for you to return the work to The Gund or for The Gund Associates to collect it from your dorm room. 

All works (including the bubble pouch, notebook + envelope) need to be returned to The Gund by Friday, May 8, 2026. Failure to return the work on time will result in a $5 per day overdue fee (including weekends).
