A creative hub

The Voxel Lab is a prototyping space available to anyone in the MIT Community interested in working on music and arts related projects.

A cross-departmental project established in fall 2021 by MIT Music & Theater Arts, the Arts at MIT, and the Office of Innovation, the Voxel Lab offers space and tools for creative work in music, photography, textiles, fashion, and other digital arts. Voxel is also home to Studio38, a music recording and production studio, and the MIT Arts Startup Incubator, which supports arts-focused startups at the Institute.

The Voxel Lab is student- and community-run. While we do have a few faculty/staff helping to organize the space, student groups and dedicated individuals play a large role in shaping the current and future facilities and activities. Become a Voxel member today, and start making the lab your own!
