The project's first installment, on view now through December 9, is "American Art at Dartmouth: Highlights from the Hood Museum of Art," an exhibition of more than 160 works that span the history of Dartmouth's American art collection. Among these works are the college's first acquisition, a Boston-made silver bowl given to founder Eleazar Wheelock in 1773, and its most recent, a painting by Jackson Pollock that pays homage to the Baker Library murals by Jos Clemente Orozco.

Praised by the London Times as "hope for humanity," the Emerson String Quartet will perform a program of Beethoven, Nielsen, Rihm and Brahms to a sold out house on Friday, Jan. 12 at 8 p.m. in the Hopkins Center's Spaulding Auditorium.
Claire Messud's new book "The Emperor's Children" could very well be subtitled "Great Expectations." The novel, which was released to impressive critical acclaim, interweaves the stories of three friends who first met as talented, promising undergraduates at Brown University (a very fashionable alma mater for fictional characters nowadays) and who have since pursued professional success in the whirl and dazzle of New York City.
These images of protest and upheaval in Paris, captured by French photojournalist Serge Hambourg during the tumult of May 1968, are among the 35 photographs on display through Nov. 19 in the Hood Museum of Art's Harrington Gallery.
When celebrated American choreographer Ronald K. Brown founded Evidence in 1985, he envisioned a company that would explore the cultural experiences and legacies of the African Diaspora through the medium of modern dance, which Brown has amplified into a language all his own. Infused with the flavors of hip-hop and ballet, Brown's style ranges from subtle to emphatic, from elegiac to exuberant. As Jennifer Dunning of The New York Times affirms, "He is an artist who never stands still: His work is full of change and exploration." Nevertheless, Brown resists "art for art's sake" by defining success according to his impact. "I am interested in sharing perspectives," he explains. "If you stir an audience, move them, inspire them, that shifts them to feel warm with each other and share a sense of community."
Trailing between windowless practice rooms and the Paddock Music Library, six students conspicuously haunt the depths of the Hopkins Center. These brave seniors are pursuing the music department's Honors Program, which, as the Organization, Regulations and Courses book dauntingly informs, entails a performance or musical composition supported by an "analytical, historical, or interpretive" paper or a thesis paper and presentation that demonstrate substantial "analytical and research skills." These six music majors are bestowing their honors theses with more than "practice, practice, practice."
Not every day marks the tetracentennial of an artist as renowned as Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.
Nostalgic contrasts between a poetic, damsel-in-distress-riddled past and our own cold, technology-driven world have (rightfully) become cliche, but if your only knowledge of the Middle Ages stems from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," take note: this week, troubadours grace the provenance of BlitzMail and Keystone.
In January, Dan Visconti, 23, received a telephone call coveted by more than 300 emerging composers worldwide, notifying him that the "Kronos: Under 30 Project" had selected him to compose a piece for the acclaimed Kronos String Quartet to debut at Dartmouth's Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts.
An Irish melody drifts pleasantly over the dimly-lit stage in the Moore Theater at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, lending atmosphere to the theater department's recreation of a 1934 Irish village for its production of "The Cripple of Inishmaan."
I entered the Claflin Jewelry Studio without any jewelry-making experience, knowledge or talent. After recovering from the intimidating presence of sharp tools, flame torches, safety goggles and an emergency eye wash, I surveyed the two rows of workbenches for a moment with shop director Jennifer Major, who freely praised the studio's "incredibly varied visitors."
