On-floor members

On-floor members live in the dorms on the Art House floor. They are expected to fully participate in the community by paying dues, attending meetings, and completing a certain amount of activities & community service. In return, on-floor members have unlimited access to all Art House facilities, can participate in activities and related events, and join in fostering a creative environment. They also have priority to go on the Toronto trip. Dues are $90 every year.

Here at Art House, we have loads of fun. Whether we're playing or working, our members grow to become great friends in no time. Doing activities and community service is a ball and the Toronto trip is a great opportunity to see extravagant galleries, shows and shopping centers.

In order to become an On-Floor Member:

• Go to RIT Housing's Forms & Contracts and fill out a Housing Contract.
• In Housing Preferences, select Special Interest Housing and Art House as your first choice.
• In Special Interest Housing, you will be asked to write an essay/answer a series of questions as your application for Art House. You can find a .pdf of the questions in the Special Interest Housing Application located at the bottom of the Housing Forms page.
• A Member Selection Committee will review the anonymous essays to decide which applicants become on-floor members as well as those who can become off-members. This is a selection process, not first-come, first-served.
