Arts

Channel | updated April 16, 2013

The arts at MIT connect creative minds across disciplines and encourage a lifetime of exploration and self-discovery. They are rooted in experimentation, risk-taking and imaginative problem-solving. The arts strengthen MIT's commitment to the aesthetic, human, and social dimensions of research and innovation.

Artistic knowledge and creation exemplify our motto — mens et manus, mind and hand. The arts are essential to MIT's mission to build a better society and meet the challenges of the 21st century.
