Page 6: Montserrat College of Art - Admissions Catalog

In the late 1960s, a group of Boston-based artists banded together with a shared vision: to create a new kind of school for professional education in the visual arts. Their dream was to establish an institution and artistic community that would not only focus on the arts, but also would foster and focus on the individual needs of each student.

Given this history, our College is known for the flourishing mentoring relationships between faculty and students. As members of our community, students have amazing opportunities to work one-on-one with our teaching artists, to assist as peer mentors to one another, to connect with our thriving alumni and to exhibit their own work in a variety of ways. These connections allow our students to take creative risks which bring them to the cutting edge of their own talent and expertise.

Our curriculum is designed for artistic minds. A Montserrat education is a blend of two parts studio learning with one part liberal arts. Within each concentration, studio electives allow flexibility to explore and expand one’s own artistic pursuits, while liberal arts classes tie in art history, humanities and other elements to create a well-balanced education in the arts.

a case for small

Small is organic all the way. Montserrat grew out of Boston’s North Shore artists’ colonies. We’ve always been doers, not watchers. While other schools were constructing buildings in city centers laid to waste by 70s urban renewal, we congregated, painted and talked counterculture—but we also always focused on fine arts and bringing more artists along.

Small doesn’t try to tear you down and rebuild you.At Montserrat you may begin learning art, but along the way you’ll find that you’re earning art, with constant critiques that plumb your abilities and help build your body of work. You can look faculty in the eye. It’s scary sometimes but it’s powerful stuff. As a result, faculty can’t help but see you as a colleague sooner, which bolsters the chances that you’ll exhibit and grab the attention of galleries and potential patrons.

Small is conversation.Because Montserrat is so right-sized for professional artistic development, our admissions staff work very hard at building the right combination of students. Not everyone is alike (think salt, tang, sweet, savory, umami) so it’s a good mix of satin, sandpaper, acrylic, organic, makers, thinkers.

smallis

mighty

If you know where you’ll end up, well, where’s the fun in that?

Small is transformation.You do want lots of feedback, don’t you? Or would you rather slouch and hope and feel your stomach churn while you are waiting? Who needs that aggravation?

Small gives you access.Professional is not a bad word. It means that when you graduate you will have the tools to work as an artist—to earn a living as an artist. Isn’t that what you want? Our intimate program spends a lot of time helping you with those tools. It’s easier to break through or cross over in media because the faculty and students and the tools are right next door or across the street. Nothing separates. A liberal arts–based program means you become conversant in art—as in with the art world. You learn the vocabulary that artists and reps speak. Because we talk a lot here and much of it is about art and process.

Small is mighty. We all share a spark. To be realistic, it’s not a passion or a flame yet because for that to really take hold—to become a true creative lifetime—spark needs a whole lot of work. If you enter as a first-year with a single-minded crazy flame, be ready to see it transform into a fire that may be unrecognizable. (You will find that this is good, trust us.)

Montserrat College of Art offers a broad range of programs in the visual arts that prepare students for their futures as professional, fine or applied artists; as teachers; and as professionals in art-related fields. To this end, Montserrat’s curriculum focuses on aesthetic exploration and individual development, which enables all students to cultivate the knowledge and abilities needed to meet their goals.

Recipe for success: add one part liberal arts to two parts studio arts. Each concentration includes core classes in the liberal arts and exposure to professional practice; we also encourage cross-disciplinary work.

art worksCreating work is one dimension of an art education at Montserrat. Exhibiting artwork, talking about art and interacting with other artists’ work completes the picture. Our professional galleries feature award-winning exhibitions that provide ample opportunity for students to be exposed to a wide range of artists, media and processes year round. Through exhibitions and related programming, students learn to view work in a larger context. The exhibition program is supported through catalogues, gallery talks and classroom visits by gallery staff to further explore curatorial content. The gallery spaces also are used for class assignments, reflection and socializing.

Public ProgramsMontserrat Gallery’s active series of Public Programs bring experts from around the world to Beverly for one-day campus visits or week-long sojourns as artists-in-residence. The program offers unique opportunities for firsthand discussion with artists, curators and scholars to provide a closer look at how creative professionals live and work. Visitors present their work in a public lecture and are integrated into the curriculum through targeted classroom visits, individual student critiques and collaborative workshops. They expose students to a wide range of aesthetics, techniques and possible career paths.

International experiencesWhile free to explore other options, students can expand their worldviews and amp up their art making with study in Africa, Viterbo, Italy and Niigata, Japan. In Africa, you’ll learn about the art and architecture of the Nankini, Ashante and Fante peoples, among other topics. Live in Italy for a month, where you’ll take two courses in painting, drawing, photography, art history or writing at the Accademia di Belle Arte in Viterbo, 90 minutes north of Rome. In Japan, a liberal arts and a studio class will immerse you in the country’s history and culture. You’ll stay in Niigata with a Japanese college student and his or her family, collaborate on group art projects and visit museums and art galleries in Kyoto, Tokyo and Hiroshima.

Mobility ProgramMontserrat distinguishes itself as one of the top colleges of art and design through the consortium of the AICAD school network. AICAD—the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design—is a non-profit consortium of 42 leading art colleges in North America.

Through AICAD, Montserrat students can participate in the Mobility Program, which provides an opportunity for students to study for one semester at another AICAD institution. It offers the experience and benefit of studying at a different institution while living in a different geographic area. Mobility students remain registered at Montserrat retaining residency and student aid eligibility, and receive credit towards completion of the Montserrat degree or diploma. To learn more about AICAD and its member schools, please visit www.aicad.org.

Internships In preparation for life after Montserrat, the College requires that all students participate in an internship or apprenticeship to gain practical and professional experience in their chosen fields. Through this opportunity, each student is able to apply the knowledge and abilities obtained in the classroom to a professional “real world” environment. They are able to evaluate career options and develop contacts with potential employers, while gaining the practical experience needed to obtain a position in their field post graduation. As part of the process, students develop learning objectives, write cover letters and resumes and interview for positions. Students also participate in reflection exercises designed for personal and professional growth. Answering questions about workplace ethics, professional goals and personal discoveries promotes deeper learning from the field experience and helps students adjust or confirm the career path.

Professional PracticeCO-CUrrICULar wOrKSHOPSStudents are required to attend a series of lectures throughout the academic year. Depending on the year level of a student, each lecture targets issues that are relevant to their progress through the curriculum. Some workshops include: copyrighting

real world opportunities

your artwork, life as an artist, resume writing, researching internships, entrepreneurship for artists, filing taxes as an artist and other professional topics.

dISCIPLINe-SPeCIFIC PreParaTIONEach discipline prepares students with skills specific to the field that they are pursuing through required, elective and capstone courses.

THreSHOLd SKILLS aNd ObjeCTIVeSEach student must fulfill certain requirements at specific points in the undergraduate experience. Freshman students give short presentations on the work of an artist to a large group of their peers at the end of their first semester. Sophomores write a Declaration of Concentration when they choose their area of focus, and prepare digital images for their end-of-semester evaluations. Juniors write a cover letter and resume as a part of their internship application. Seniors are all required to have a professional packet of materials including website, portfolio, cover letter, resume and artist statement. Before graduation they all must apply to an outside opportunity, such as an artist residency, an exhibition or a professional job. Seniors also give a formal presentation on their own work and participate in an exit interview/portfolio review by a group of professionals in their field.

As part of the process, students develop learning objectives, write cover letters and resumes and interview for positions. Students also participate in reflection exercises designed for personal and professional growth. Answering questions about workplace ethics, professional goals and personal discoveries promotes deeper learning from the field experience and helps students adjust or confirm the career path.

Professional PracticeCO-CUrrICULar wOrKSHOPSStudents are required to attend a series of lectures throughout the academic year. Depending on the year level of a student, each lecture targets issues that are relevant to their progress through the curriculum. Some workshops include: copyrighting

real world opportunities

your artwork, life as an artist, resume writing, researching internships, entrepreneurship for artists, filing taxes as an artist and other professional topics.

dISCIPLINe-SPeCIFIC PreParaTIONEach discipline prepares students with skills specific to the field that they are pursuing through required, elective and capstone courses.

THreSHOLd SKILLS aNd ObjeCTIVeSEach student must fulfill certain requirements at specific points in the undergraduate experience. Freshman students give short presentations on the work of an artist to a large group of their peers at the end of their first semester. Sophomores write a Declaration of Concentration when they choose their area of focus, and prepare digital images for their end-of-semester evaluations. Juniors write a cover letter and resume as a part of their internship application. Seniors are all required to have a professional packet of materials including website, portfolio, cover letter, resume and artist statement. Before graduation they all must apply to an outside opportunity, such as an artist residency, an exhibition or a professional job. Seniors also give a formal presentation on their own work and participate in an exit interview/portfolio review by a group of professionals in their field.

Services for Montserrat students support learning, build community and develop the whole artist with activities that are heavy and light, near and far and inside and outside the classroom. Days and nights are serious and social, from open mic nights and a monthly dance club to video game tournaments and more than 10 clubs to join. Other activities include drag shows and NYC trips. Woven into the student life experience is a program called Healthy Artists, Healthy Campus. This program focuses on nutrition and overall wellness, as well as sleep and the prevention of stress. Student Voice is Montserrat’s student government. All students are welcome. Student Voice provides the student perspective on College matters, initiates programs for students and brings students’ concerns to the attention of the administration. Student Voice sends a representative to the regularly scheduled faculty meetings to give a report and bring matters of student concern to the attention of the faculty.

student housing

At Montserrat, all of our rooms are apartment-style, so you don’t have to live in a bare cubicle the next town over. Future artists and designers live side-by-side in a setting similar to an artist-in-residence experience. These living spaces offer the independence of apartment living, with most accommodating a minimum of four students and including at least two bedrooms with a complete bath, kitchen and living room. A trained staff is on hand to assist students with any problems; one of the benefits of being a small school is that our students don’t fall through the cracks. (It’s kind of hard to when they’re on a first-name basis with us.) There are many dining options in our neighborhood, but with a kitchen in each on-campus apartment, why not learn to cook? Preparing meals is a life skill that you will use over and over again. If cooking isn’t your thing, a small number of students do use an off-campus dining plan at local restaurants. The approach gives students life skills that will come in handy later (when they may be living in a Brooklyn walkup with a kitchen the size of a shoebox).

Health ServicesMontserrat College of Art recognizes that good health is an important part of having a successful educational experience. Our Health Services department is located on the first floor of the Hardie Building. It is a great resource for students who may not be feeling well. Additionally, Health Services staff provide health and wellness educational information and programs to assist students in making lower-risk choices and promoting healthy lifestyles during their Montserrat career and beyond.

Counseling ServicesAdjusting to college life is a process and an ever-changing experience. When you need someone to talk to, a professional and caring counseling psychologist is available on campus for a free and confidential conversation. No problem is too big or too small. Students also may request referrals for additional personal and psychological counseling, which is often covered by health insurance.

student services

Faculty advisors and the dean of students take special interest in student concerns and also are available to discuss the everyday problems that arise while adjusting to college life.

Students with Special NeedsMontserrat’s faculty and administration make every effort to accommodate the needs of students with documented learning or physical differences. Students with special needs are asked to place required documentation on file with the Office of Academic Affairs so necessary services and facilities can be made available. Students with documented differences may, for example, be eligible for alternative methods of testing. Montserrat makes every effort to ensure that no student is unfairly excluded or segregated, in accordance with the College’s policy on non-discrimination, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
