Alumna Elise Towle Snow ’06 is bringing the Montserrat community together via Etsy!
Dear talented students, alumni, staff, faculty, and anyone who’s been part of Montserrat in any way,
If you have an Etsy account, please join this group, promote your work, show your school spirit, catch up with other artists, look for/offer advice, and much more!!
This group is a way to gather all the talented folks who have been part of Montserrat College of Art. Current students, alumni, staff, faculty and participants in the pre-college or continuing education are all welcome to add their shops! Please invite people who you know have been a part of Montserrat and have Etsy accounts.
Karen Ristuben, former Art Education faculty member, will be creating an installation and presentation at Cape Ann Museum’s White Ellery House on Sat., Sept. 3, from 11 am – 3 pm. She’ll be presenting her 45-min. performance and lecture, “Just, one word…”, at 11:30 am and 1:30 pm.
The project focuses on the use, over-use and disposal of plastics and their toxic effect on the public health. The presentation specifically highlights the issue of marine plastic pollution and its impact on ocean ecosystems and the marine food chain. The project is based on Karen’s research over the past year, including her voyage last month across the North Pacific with leading marine scientists who study the issue of marine plastic pollution.
By addressing this issue as an artist, Karen offers a different method of communicating the scientific data that is currently on the minds of many marine scientists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and policy-makers.
