The Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Prize in the Visual Arts is presented to current MIT students for excellence in a body of work in the visual arts. Recipients receive a cash prize and participate in a group exhibition in the MIT Wiesner Student Art Gallery.

The artists work across several media to offer novel sensations and perspectives. Their broad range of subjects includes technology, light waves, geopolitics, and unrequited love. As graduate students, each of them received a $5,000 award.
