Description
The Fay Chandler Creativity Grant is administered by MIT’s Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST). It subsidizes creative projects that bring art, science, and technology into conversation, supporting these fields as interrelated modes of exploration, knowledge, and discovery at MIT. Cross-disciplinary proposals are welcome, and supported projects must be presented to the public within one year of the award.
CAST supports exploratory work and projects that may be difficult to fund through traditional sources, including work that could lead to future creative projects, significant research, or collaborations. It encourages proposals focused on racial and social justice and projects that amplify the artistic work and voices of Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
