Russian philanthropist and art collector Dasha Zhukova will give $1 million to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to endow a brand new visiting artist program at the MIT Center for Art, Science and Technology, it was announced today.
The program is open to artists working in architecture, art and design and will allow them to complete research and collaborate with faculty and students over a period of one to two years. The first residency will begin in the 2016-2017 academic year.
