About

Who is the House of Arts (HArts)?

Greetings from House of the Arts (HArts)! We are a Special Interest House on RIT’s Rochester campus dedicated to fostering and facilitating the artistic community of RIT. Composed of a mix of art and non-art majors, we are the largest organization dedicated to the arts on the East side of campus. HArts is the product of two of the oldest Special Interest Houses previously at RIT, known as Art House and Photo House.

These groups, with rich history and extensive experience in their crafts, combined in 2025 to create this organization. We are now dedicated to facilitating all disciplines of art across any media that our members use! Activities are a defining feature of HArts!

From workshops to game nights to big trips, HArts provides members with a plethora of activities to take part in. These gatherings help provide a break from the everyday academic rigor of college life, and give members an opportunity to mingle, connect, and develop a healthy community! Such activities include: Artist Row, a community arts festival hosted by the Friends of the Rochester Public Market; a large–scale Halloween party; a large–scale holiday party; many workshop activities, like painting workshops, sewing nights, poetry nights, and more; constant on-floor activities. (Game nights, karaoke nights, participating in groups projects, and more.)

We are also big on community service, both on and off campus. Many of our members have helped out in projects such as Giving Tuesday’s Hunger Project, and some have even volunteered to help out other organizations on campus—in fact, our organization was contacted by RIT themselves to paint the murals in the RITZ dining establishment, and one of our members designed all of the card decks and other elements for the RIT Archives’ Halloween 2025 event! While we have not been around long enough for people to know who we are, we still are constantly looking for opportunities to help people whenever artistic problems arise.
