Oberlin Conservatory brass and percussion students perform a work inspired by nature during an evening performance in Tappan Square.

Many students added a piece of museum work to their dormitory room walls by participating in Art Rental this past weekend.

Art Rental has been an Oberlin College tradition at the Allen Memorial Art Museum since 1940. This year it continues on Saturday, September 12, with the added bonus of free rentals for the academic year.

In fact, the piece pictured here is located in a space known for expression. Can you guess where it resides?
