2024 Annual Report

A man wearing a green sweater is sitting on a bed with navy sheets in front of a stenciled artwork on the white wall behind. The bed is to the right of a window with a plant on the windowsill.

The 2023–2024 Student Lending Art Program featured 550 artworks in the exhibition. We continued to offer undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to sign up remotely as an effort to improve accessibility.

The List Center added 12 artworks to the Student Lending Art Collection this year with support from the Friends of Boston Art, Sara-Ann and Robert Sanders, Karen and Greg Arenson, the John Taylor Endowment, the Alan May Endowment, the List Visual Arts Center Advisory Committee, and gifts of art.

This program provides deeper connections to art within the MIT Student Community. Each year, we interview a few students on their experience. Visit here to learn more about how students are inspired by the art they select.
