Artwork Loan Programs

Art in Office

The Van Every/Smith Galleries oversee the College’s Permanent Art Collection, comprised of more than 4,000 works of art spanning five centuries. The Art in Office program turns the entire campus into a gallery by providing college staff with works of art from the Collection for display in their offices, common spaces, and conference rooms. Artworks are generally kept for 2-3 years, though staff members may request to keep their work of art for a few cycles.

To learn more, visit the Art in Office Guidelines and contact Marisa J. Pascucci, Gallery & Collection Coordinator at x2575 or mapascucci@davidson.edu or Lia Newman, Gallery Director/Curator at x2519 or linewman@davidson.edu.

ArtMate

Spring 2021 brought the launch of ArtMate, a program that allows students to select an artwork for their residence hall room for the academic year. Gallery staff and interns selected over 100 pieces out of the 4,000 works in the college’s permanent art collection spanning centuries, regions, and genres to provide a variety of aesthetics for students to choose from. ArtMate has expanded to the first 100 students living in the following eight Residence Halls: Chidsey, Duke, Tomlinson, Davis, Flowe, Hart, Jamieson, and Daley.
