Description
MIT’s Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) supports the development of new classes that integrate the arts into MIT’s core curriculum and engage students from across the Institute in producing new artistic work. The fund gives preference to classes intended to become a regular part of the curriculum, creating sustained opportunities for artistic practice within MIT teaching.
CAST treats art, science, and technology as interrelated modes of exploration, knowledge, and discovery. It welcomes cross-disciplinary artistic proposals, including exploratory work that may be difficult to support through traditional funding sources. CAST also encourages proposals focused on racial and social justice or amplifying the artistic work and voices of Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
