Creativity you can hold.
December 7 & 8, 2026 | 9:00am–5:00pm
MIT Memorial Lobby (Building 10)
222 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA
Twice a year, W20 Art Studios hosts a pop-up sale under the Great Dome in the MIT Memorial Lobby (Building 10) featuring handcrafted ceramics made by members of the MIT community. Each piece is unique and was created and fired in the studio on the fourth floor of MIT Stratton Student Center.
Browse espresso cups, planter pots, ramen bowls, decorative pieces, and more. Whether you’re finding a gift or treating yourself, you’ll leave with something one of a kind. Everyone is welcome.
Your purchase supports the makers. Most proceeds go directly to the artists; a portion supports the W20 Art Studios ceramics program, ensuring equipment and resources remain available in this creative community space.
