Student Loan Art Program
Through this popular annual loan program, administered by the List Visual Arts Center, individual students and student groups may borrow original works of art from the collection for their private rooms and communal spaces.
The collection is comprised of the Catherine N. Stratton Collection of Graphic Arts, established in 1966, the List Student Loan Collection, established in 1977, and the Ronald A. Kurtz Student Loan Collection, established in 1985. Approximately fifteen new works are added to the collection annually to expand the breadth of its offerings. The previous year’s purchases are exhibited in the Stratton Student Center (Building W20, third floor) for one academic year, after which they are moved to the active collection for borrowing.
The collection now includes more than 400 framed original works of art, primarily prints and photographs by leading artists, which are made available to students for loan each September.

This popular annual loan program is administered by the List Visual Arts Center. Under the program, individual MIT students and student groups may borrow original works of art from the collection for their private rooms and communal spaces for the academic year, by means of a unique exhibition and lottery system.
The collection is comprised of the Catherine N. Stratton Collection of Graphic Arts, established in 1966, the List Student Loan Collection, established in 1977, and the Ronald A Kurtz Student Loan Collection, established in 1985. Each year about 15 new pieces are added to the collections to expand the breadth of the offerings. The previous year’s purchases are exhibited in the Stratton Student Center (Building W20, third floor) for one academic year, after which they are moved to the active collection for borrowing.
Over 400 framed original works of art-primarily prints, photographs and multiples by leading artists-are made available for loan each September after Labor Day.
Students who are selected to receive an artwork for the academic year are expected to return it to the List Visual Arts Center offices before Finals week. If a student leaves MIT before the end of the academic year, h/she is required to return the artwork to the List Visual Arts Center offices before departing. Loans are not transferable.
