The List Visual Arts Center at MIT is a creative laboratory that offers artists space to experiment and push aesthetic boundaries through exhibitions, commissions, and special programs. One of these programs is the List Projects series, through which emerging and underrepresented artists present new work three times a year in the compact Bakalar Gallery. Each project is accompanied by public discussions that link the exhibition’s content to relevant academic scholarship.

“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
