ARTALK features blogs written by MIT students, faculty, and staff who are involved in the arts at MIT. The arts are an integral part of the MIT experience, encouraging risk-taking, problem-solving and a lifetime of exploration and discovery. Over 60 percent of incoming freshmen bring with them interests and experiences in the arts, and over half of MIT's undergraduates enroll in arts courses each year.

At MIT, the arts are widely practiced, performed, and celebrated in corridors and classrooms, on stage, and in the studio. MIT is home to a world-renowned arts faculty who offer students the opportunity to experience excellence in media arts, music, theater, dance, writing, the visual arts, and architecture.

The study and practice of art at MIT is a unique experience because of the creativity and rigor of the students.
