West Campus Public Art Tour

Join MIT List Visual Arts Center on a public art walking tour showcasing the MIT Public Art Collection across the west side of campus.
About this Event

View select artworks and consider how art and architecture have enhanced MIT's campus design, featuring artworks by renowned artists such as Beverly Pepper, Jaume Plensa, and Sanford Biggers.

This tour begins at MIT’s main entrance at 77 Massachusetts Avenue.

Many of the public artworks seen on the tour is made possible by the MIT Percent-for-Art Program, administered by the List Visual Arts Center, that allocates a portion of the project funds to commission art for each new major renovation or campus construction project. The policy was formally instituted in 1968, but earlier collaborations between artists and architects can be found on MIT’s campus.

This program is free, but registration is required.
