Share your creative talents and help raise money to support women undergraduates at MIT! Artisans from the MIT community and beyond are invited to apply to the League’s juried Community Craft Fair, held every December in Lobby 10 just off MIT’s famed Infinite Corridor. Jewelers, fiber artists, soap-makers, woodworkers and more offer their crafts at this popular holiday event that has raised more than $20,000 to benefit women undergrads at MIT.
