A popular and rewarding way for individuals to support the List Visual Arts Center’s Student Loan Art Program is to join the MIT Friends of Boston Art. Members participate in 3-4 special events, tours, and talks each year, and dues are used to purchase Boston artists’ prints and photographs that are loaned to MIT students.

		If you wish to help sponsor the List Visual Arts Center’s programs, a secure online giving mechanism exists for donations to a variety of contemporary art projects:

Donate		Student Loan Art Collection
		Each year over 1,000 MIT students wish to borrow prints and photographs from the Student Loan Art Collection. However, there aren’t enough works to accommodate half of the requests. Offer your support to purchase and frame works of art for students to borrow.

Donate		Conservation / Adopt an Artwork
		MIT’s public art collection is one of the strongest in New England and is recognized as one of the top ten campus public art collections in the nation. Help maintain these extraordinary works by providing for the conservation of paintings and works on paper or by adopting a sculpture.

Donate		Public Programs
		LVAC’s public programs include the Leroy and Dorothy Lavine Lecture. Honor these longtime supporters of the arts by helping to bring leaders in the visual arts field to speak at MIT.

Donate		Director’s Discretionary Fund
		Every non-profit thrives on unrestricted general operating support. Won’t you consider making a contribution to the LVAC Director’s Discretionary Fund?

Donate		Endowment
		Donations to the List Visual Arts Center’s Endowment provide ongoing permanent support of exhibitions, collections, and programs.

		Many other giving opportunities exist, including supporting the LVAC’s:
	•	renowned changing exhibitions program
	•	scholarly illustrated catalogues
	•	artists in residence
	•	commissioning of new public art
	•	guest curator program
