Become a Friend of the Student Workshops
For 60+ years, the Hop Student Workshops have served as a model for experiential arts education on a liberal arts campus, with over a quarter of all students using the Woodshop, Jewelry Studio, or Ceramics Studio during their time at Dartmouth. Gifts support reduced material costs for students, opportunities with visiting artists, and keep the workshops open for all undergraduate and graduate students at Dartmouth.

The New Hop
The reimagined Hop will welcome students and the Dartmouth and Upper Valley communities to gather, create, and connect through world-class arts programming. The capabilities of these new and reimagined spaces will be transformational.
