Memorial Union will host a open house full of art for anyone to come and rent art for a semester or a year. The open house will begin on Aug 1 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Aug. 2 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Browsing Library on the 1st floor of the MU.

There is around 175 pieces of art to choose from in the collection. The collection consists of of variety of different shapes and sizes of framed posters, prints, and original art for patrons to choose from. Most of the art will rent from $10 to $15. 

The purpose of this event is to help people in making their space more fun, without having to purchase art that costs a fortune, or having to lug it around when moving to a new house.

Letitia Kenemer, Fine Arts Coordinator at the MU said, “Hopefully it adds to people’s space. Having artwork you enjoy in your space is important for people. Whether its an office space or a dorm room, it’s important and it’s affordable.”

The art, whether it’s rented for a semester or a year, can be returned to the MU when the rent is up.
