Art House is the oldest of eight special interest houses at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Founded in 1969 by Charles McDougal, Art House has flourished for almost half a century into one of the most dynamic dorms on campus. It is located on the second floor of RIT's Eugene Colby Dorm.

Art House has many unique aspects that separate it from other floors. Despite RIT's high number of male students[1], Art House observes a policy of keeping a 1:1 ratio. Unlike other floors, which only have a lounge or two, Art House also has a studio, spray booth and screen printing room. The studio is one of the busiest areas on floor, used for working, floor meetings and occasionally for guest speaker presentations. The studio also contains a display case for artwork[2].

As a special interest house, Art House must adhere to certain policies on RIT. In order for members to stay on Art House, members pay a $90 USD yearly fee, and are expected to community service and floor activities every quarter[3]. Half of the required community service hours may be completed on-floor by cleaning up the studio or helping with the Rochester Institute of Technology open houses. The other half must be done off-floor.

Activities range from events such as 3D twister to movie trips. They may be created by any floor resident, so long as at least seven members attend and it is approved by the Activities Director[4]. One of the most popular activities is the yearly trip to Toronto.

In 1992, an "Art House sculpture" was erected outside of the entrance (later moved to the new location of Art House in Colby Hall D) depicting "the delicate balance between Arts and Sciences at RIT."
