The Class of '69 selected the student Art and Art History publication Ephemera for its FY 2026 grant. The award was presented to Sara Shelton '26 and Lucie Morton '26 at the DOC House during our Coming Home celebration.
An excerpt of an article about Ephemera from The Dartmouth:
"Dartmouth’s new art and art history journal “Ephemera” is leaning into its “fun” side.
According to co-editor-in-chief Sara Shelton ’26, the idea would be “feeling like you can rip out a piece of paper that has some student’s artwork on it — like hanging on your wall.”
Shelton and co-editor-in-chief Lucie Morton ’26 said they are spearheading a new organizational focus for the publication, which was founded last spring as a creative outlet for students interested in art and art history. The magazine will be “less like an academic journal” and “a little more casual,” according to Shelton.
For example, Shelton said she and the editorial team are experimenting with more fluid layouts. Instead of organizing the publication into fixed sections like last year, Shelton envisions “Ephemera” to have sections “interspersed throughout the magazine.” She suggested that this new structure will give editors and contributors more creative freedom.
She also hopes this new format will make the publication “feel a little more fun.”
“Ephemera” was founded by Chandini Peddanna ’25 to fill what she saw as a gap in Dartmouth’s extracurricular landscape."
