| Each year about 15 new pieces are
added to the collection to expand the breadth of the offerings. The previous
year's purchases are exhibited in the Student Center (building W20, third
floor), for one academic year, after which they are moved into the active
collection for borrowing (thus, the 2006 purchases will be moved into
the active collection in 2007).
Approximately 400 works are exhibited in the List Visual Arts Center for two weeks in
the fall of each year. MIT students may stop in to view the works during
this time and register their top three choices to borrow for the duration
of the academic year in a random lottery. Impartial List Visual Arts Center
staff will administer the lottery and post the results. Generally, we
receive close to1000 entries, so entrants have about a 2 in 5 chance of receiving
something. The lottery for academic year 2007-2008 will be held immediately
following the exhibition, which runs from September 4 through 16, everyday
12-6pm.
Students who borrow artwork for the 2007-2008 year will be expected to
return their borrowed works to the List Visual Arts Center offices, E15-109,
during May 2008. A reminder email will be sent. If you leave MIT before
the end of the year, you must return your artwork to the List Visual Arts
Center offices. Loans are not transferable. Please contact registrar John
Rexine, via email or phone (617) 253.6633,
to make arrangements or if you have additional questions about your artwork.
If you need more information about the Student Loan Art Program, please call

Major support for this program is provided by MIT's Campus Activities Complex, and endowments generously established by John Taylor and Alan May.
