Explore the vibrant public art on MIT's central campus by joining the MIT List Visual Arts Center for the Central Campus: Public Art Tour. Embark on a captivating walking tour to discover the renowned MIT public art collection, with a focus on select artworks including the latest additions by Spencer Finch and Julian Cherrière. Managed by the List Visual Arts Center, MIT’s Percent-for-Art Program dedicates up to $500,000 towards commissioning art for each new significant renovation or campus construction project. The roots of this initiative date back to 1968, with earlier notable collaborations between artists and architects evident on MIT's campus.

Architect Eero Saarinen's MIT Chapel, built in 1955, showcases the artistic contributions of sculptors Theodore Roszak and Harry Bertoia. Fast forward to 1985, architect I.M. Pei teamed up with artists Scott Burton, Kenneth Noland, and Richard Fleischner for Percent-for-Art projects at the Wiesner Building and plaza, now home to the MIT List Visual Arts Center and the Media Laboratory. While the tour is complimentary, registration is mandatory. Please note that the program is subject to weather conditions; registered participants will be notified via email a day before the scheduled tour date if any cancellations are necessary.
