About Us

We are a branch of the Office of the Arts designed to connect students to the arts in and around MIT. With our wide variety of programs, students can discover and develop their artistic creativity. Through networking and advising, we create an environment that fosters risk-taking discovery, connecting creativity across boundaries, and shaping a lifetime of exploration and discovery in the arts.

Through our Student Programs, we offer extra-curricular and formal classes in traditional visual arts, facilities where students can create art, programs for students to experience the arts scene around the area, and opportunities to interact with established artists and peers interested in the arts.

MIT’s Artist-in-Residence Program sustains MIT's reputation as a global center of innovation and learning by bringing established and emerging artists to campus to interact with students. We are committed to fostering curricular innovation and interdepartmental collaboration by providing students with opportunities for direct involvement with artists in all areas of the arts.
