Individual Gifts

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

LVAC Taylor Student Loan Collection Fund

    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

List Visual Arts Center Conservation Fund

    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 Dorothy and Leroy Levine Fund
