Leila Kinney | Arts at MIT

Art historian, Executive Director of Arts Initiatives at MIT and the Center for Arts, Science, and Technology (CAST), Leila Kinney works at the intersection of arts, technology and innovation. We met at Athan’s Bakery in Brookline during the last week of August, both hoping to sneak in one last mini summer vacation before the start of the school year. Leila heads up a robust and inspiring program which includes classes, residencies, symposia, research and performances. Who would have guessed that the nation’s leading technology school would also be such an important leader in the arts?!
