MIT Students Can Now Borrow Works by Jennie C. Jones and Nayland Blake
The MIT List Visual Arts Center added nine new works to the Student Lending Collection for its 49th anniversary.
MIT's List Visual Arts Center has expanded its Student Lending Art Program (SLAP) for its 49th year, offering students the opportunity to borrow works of art for free. This initiative, ongoing since 1977, allows students to personalize their living spaces with museum-quality contemporary art. This year, nine new acquisitions have been added to the program's collection, featuring artists such as Jennie C. Jones and Nayland Blake.
These artworks will be showcased at the List Center at the end of the month, providing students with ample time to view and select their preferred pieces. The program operates on a lottery system, with selected students able to borrow their chosen artwork for the academic year. For those who do not secure a piece through the lottery, remaining artworks can be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis.
The exhibition of the entire SLAP collection will be on display at the List Center from August 31 through September 13.
