Stop by the MIT Welcome Center to contribute to an art installation featuring Wide Tim!
Materials will be available from 10am-4pm on most weekdays between March 4-13, 2025. This is a drop-in, self-guided activity - and no artistic skills are required! This collaborative project will culminate in a celebration on March 14th from 4-6pm.
Wide Tim is a plump and joyful beaver character and an MIT-wide sensation created by Tianyuan (Margaret) Zheng, MIT '23, MEng '24. Aside from being MIT’s only eating and sleeping double major, Wide Tim is all for sharing joy and spreading love. Since his debut in 2021, Wide Tim has collaborated with 85+ MIT organizations, offices, and departments to create more than 200 illustrations advocating for wellness, the arts at MIT, and happiness all around. Wide Tim is so excited to be here and create even more joy with everyone through this collaborative mural!
In collaboration with the artist, this program is part of Artfinity: The 2025 MIT Arts Festival, celebrating creativity and community at MIT.
