Loan Request Process

Instructions:

To borrow artwork from the RIT campus art collection, first select the artwork you are interested in borrowing from our website https://www.rit.edu/artoncampus/. The selection of artwork available will vary throughout the year, as the collection is in a constant state of flux due to exhibitions and loans. Not all pieces are available for loan for various reasons.

To make a loan request, please complete the Campus Art Loan Form for each piece being requested. Person completing the request must be the borrower.
