Welcome Students!

Whether you’re new to the Kenyon community or a familiar face on campus, there’s always something new for you to explore at The Gund.

Become a Gund Associate

On a rotating basis, The Gund welcomes a small group of Kenyon students to assist with behind-the-scenes aspects of operating a contemporary art museum. This opportunity provides a great way to collaborate with peers across all Kenyon departments and develop a working knowledge of the museum industry. The Gund Associates program is a unique, paid-internship opportunity open to all currently enrolled Kenyon students.

Explore the Collection

The Gund’s rapidly growing collection of 20th and 21st-century paintings, sculptures, photographs, prints, drawings, and new media works serves as a launchpad for self-discovery, community dialogue, and connections across academic disciplines. There are ample ways to experience our collection on and off campus.

The Gund Art Loan Program

As a Kenyon student, you can borrow a piece of artwork for an academic year to enjoy, engage with, and share in the comfort of your dorm room. This is a great way to learn to care for works, interpret their meanings, and appreciate the intrinsic power of art. For more information about the Art Loan Program and a list of available works, please visit our Art Loan Program website.
