Rotch Library Gallery
Rotch Library Gallery is comprised of a 400 square-foot gallery with two additional display cases and two panels for exhibits focusing on interdisciplinary arts practices, works that push creative intellectual boundaries, and support research. Some topics include but are not limited to architecture, art, photography, design, urban planning, housing, community development, geography, globalization and the environment. The space is also a venue for curriculum-based shows and encourages student exhibits. The gallery is open to the MIT community – students, staff, faculty, and alumni; including members of their immediate families and sponsored affiliates. Exhibitions proposed by individuals or groups not affiliated with MIT will be considered, based on availability and content. The gallery has been exhibiting since the early 1990s.
