Arts
The arts are central to the MIT student experience and, like so much of the Institute, rooted in the idea of making and creating, in understanding materials and taking risks, in solving problems and finding solutions.
Some examples of non-curricular art programs that highlight MIT students’ creativity and the role the arts play in improving student life:
- the Glass Lab — where students discover connections between art and science, and learn about materials and technology in the context of glass forming;
- the Student Loan Art Program — which allows students to borrow a work of art from the MIT List Visual Arts Center for their dorm room or apartment, for one school year and at no charge (an experience that’s unique to MIT); and
- the Student Art Association — a suite of art studios for clay, photography, drawing, painting, and other projects that’s open to the community 24 hours a day.
Current Campaign for Students priorities for the arts are to —
- Bring MIT’s characteristic rigor to the arts program;
- inspire creativity and improve student life; and
- make the arts accessible to all students.
