Support the Hop Ensembles
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.
Support the Student WorkshopsThe Director’s Fund for Excellence provides flexible funding that enables the Hop to inspire and react in an ever-changing arts landscape. As the new Hop comes to life, your gift directly supports world-class programming and ideas that activate and bring to life the new and reimagined spaces.
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.
Gifts of all levels are welcome and will be recognized in the dedication program.

As the saying goes, the best things in life aren’t things. Some are experiences—like great concerts, plays or films. Hop gift certificates—either electronic or on paper—are an easy way to give people unforgettable arts experiences.
