In an institution that values mastery of technical skills, novel conceptual approaches, ingenious practical solutions, open-ended questions and multiple paths towards discovery in all disciplines, the arts thrive.</p> <p>The strengths of MIT’s artistic community over the years have emerged through creative adaptation to the Institute’s distinctive culture as a center of innovation in science and engineering. At MIT, artists have embraced the challenge of inventing new methods, media and technologies for artistic production alongside the goal of creating the most expressive artifacts, performances and buildings. They approach students as co-creators in their artistic endeavors. They are comfortable with the collective creativity of ensembles, labs and studios. The professional practice, exhibition and performance of art is rooted in MIT’s past and indispensable to its future.</p> <p>A look at MIT’s history shows that its leaders have long understood the profound significance of embedding the arts within a scientific and technical institution, beginning with founder William Barton Rogers.</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1 secondary"> <div class="wp-block-spacer" style="height: 40px" aria-hidden="true"></div> <h3>“Taken together, the arts, science and technology form a triple anvil on which to forge a new kind of apprenticeship for a complex world.”</h3> <p>– Jerome B.
