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.

Friends 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.
