In support of the MIT Museum’s mission to welcome all to participate in MIT’s unique culture of problem-solving and playful creativity, we seek proposals for innovative public programs that explore humanity's relationship with the theme of TIME.
ABOUT THE THEME
What is time? How do we measure, understand, and perceive it? From circadian rhythms to wormholes, from atomic clocks to time travel, our year-long focus on TIME at the MIT Museum will invite audiences to experience programs, educational workshops, and installations, exploring our complex relationship with time.
We are especially eager to review program proposals that demonstrate a meaningful connection to the theme of TIME and that bring a thought-provoking or unexpected perspective to it - we are interested in projects that connect art, science, technology, and design. We value programs that invite audience participation and engagement in new and inventive ways.
Topics may include, but are not limited to: Space Time, Time Measurement, Time perception, Deep time, Futures, Memory, Quantum time, Cyclical time, Musical time/tempo, Time travel, and Circadian rhythms.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Who is our audience? The programs should be accessible and thought-provoking for a wide variety of visitors. Please note that the Museum’s target audience is curious teens (middle school and above) and adults.
Who can apply? We encourage public programming proposals from artists, scientists, engineers, designers, and other creative practitioners. Students, staff, and faculty at MIT, as well as leaders and creators from the broader community, can all apply.
What type of projects are accepted?
We welcome innovative programmatic proposals from across disciplines and formats. This could include hands-on workshops, films, lecture series, master classes, talks, music, VR/XR, LARP, demonstrations, performances, installations, and maker programs. Programming that brings together art and science in innovative ways is especially encouraged.
What budget is available? Materials and other expenses for projects supported by the open call can typically be funded up to $1,000. We welcome proposals that work to a smaller budget or have a larger budget and other sources of funding.
