Dartmouth Arts Weekend Celebration

Join us for a weekend of creativity and connection as we celebrate our expanded center for creation, joy and community right at the heart of the vibrant Dartmouth Arts District.

Art is essential, and the new Hop makes art central to the Dartmouth experience. We will inaugurate the Daryl and Steven Roth Wing with 15,000 square feet of dramatic new spaces for creation and performance, including a black box theater and the first-ever dedicated dance studio in the Hop.

For tickets and to RSVP to all free events, please visit individual event pages.

Note: Tickets to opening weekend events are not yet available to the general public.
