The MIT Arts Studios provide extra-academic, hands-on instruction in the arts for all levels in a range of media.
Priority registration is given to MIT undergraduate and graduate students, though all MIT affiliates with an active MIT ID may participate as space permits. Sign up to develop or refine your art in an open, hands-on, relaxed environment.
Previously called the Student Art Association (SAA), the studios on the fourth floor of the Stratton Student Center are currently under renovation and are scheduled to reopen mid-October 2023. (Please note that other areas of the building may reopen sooner.)
Photography and other 2D classes will begin September 18, 2023 in alternative locations on campus. Additional details regarding ceramics classes will be communicated as they become available.
