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.

Now that’s an ending.

“Our granting program recognizes the equal importance of small, community-oriented spaces, major museums, and everything in between. Together, and with the foundation’s support, they work to collectively amplify the voices and visions of artists, which deepens and diversifies the national cultural discourse.”
